Sponsors Keen For Lorie Kane Island Challenge

It might be called The Lorie Kane Island Challenge but it certainly isn't a challenge to acquire sponsors. Recently, Ford of Canada, Snapple, and Atlantic Lottery have joined the alliance of previous sponsors for the upcoming event. The group joins Royal Bank, Island Tel and their parent company Aliant, Moosehead Breweries, and Rodd Hotels & Resorts towards corporate sponsorship of the event to be held August 29 and 30 at the Brudenell Golf Resort.

"The event is a very easy sell," noted Kevin J. MacAdam, Minister of Fisheries and Tourism. "The corporate sector recognizes that this LPGA superstar lineup will attract a lot of public and media attention. They are eager to partner towards the success of the challenge and we are very pleased that they are interested."

The tickets for the Lorie Kane Island Challenge will go on sale March 18 at 11:00 (AST) through TicketMaster at 1-888-222-6608 or via the internet at www.ticketmaster.ca.
