Monday May 8, 2017 Golf Outing

Monday May 8th, former Cincinnati Bengal star, Ickey Woods, shuffles into the Dayton area for charity, and he needs your help.  It is for a cause named after his late son, Jovante, who succumbed to a severe asthma attack during his high school years.

The Jovante Woods Foundation is hosting an event at NCR Country Club called “Fairways for Airways” to benefit a cure research for Asthma and help promote awareness of the dangers of the condition.

Food Adventures is proud to be a small part of this event.  We look forward to a fun day of golf with friends and celebs.

Ickey Woods

Archer’s Tavern, Boyle Mechanical, Dayton Freight are the major sponsors of the event.  The 2017 Fairways for Airways Celebrity Golf Outing on the South Course of the NCR Country Club is the 2nd annual event for this cause. The weather forecast is calling for clear skies with little to no chance for rain.  Temperatures should be in the high 50s for the noon shotgun start and the low 60s during most of the outing. Perfect Golf Weather.  There is still time for you to sign up for this one of a kind experience.

Each foursome will be paired with a celebrity for a round of golf.

In the past, former Reds, Bengals and Buckeye stars have been participating.  Former appearances have included James Brooks, Tom Browning, Archie Griffin, Jim Breech, Pete Johnson, Yancy Thigpen, Andy Harmon, Dmitri Young, Barney Bussey, Steve Caminiti, Richard Carey, Doug Pelfrey, Dan Wilkinson, Eric Shaw, Ernie Mills, Eric Thomas, Frank Minnifield, Lonzell Hill,  Joe Kelly, Robert Jackson, Kanavis Mcghee, Katie Blackburn, Michael Wiley

 and of course Ickey himself…

Ickey, Archer’s and Asthma

Food Adventures is all about fun, food and the lighter side of life.  We pick out Dayton eatings spots and have great times doing so.  Today however, we want to take time to mention a serious cause.  Chef House, Hungry Jax and The Big Ragu are fans of the restaurants that give back to the community.  Today we recognize another such effort from the owners of Archer’s Tavern in Centerville.

Today we recognize the final hours to get involved with a charitable cause at the 1st Annual Dayton Fairways for Airways a Celeb Pro-Am golf Outing to benefit the Javonte Woods Foundation.

 

HERE’S THE SKINNY:

Always involved with local charities

— On August 14th, 2010, Princeton High School Student Jovante Woods died suddenly from a severe asthma attack. His parents, Ickey and Chandra, were inspired to keep his memory alive.   They started the Javonte Woods foundation with the goal of educating and helping prevent others from experiencing the loss of a loved one to this condition.

— ARCHER’S TAVERN and Former Cincinnati Bengal’s Football star ICKEY WOODS have teamed up to hold a golf outing for the foundation at NCR Country Club Monday May 9th.  Last minute golfers may be able to attend, email [email protected]

 

— Some of the celebs expected to be in attendance include:

Ed Young, former UD Basketball superstar

Jim Breech, former Bengal Kicker

Andy Harmon, former Philadelphia Eagles Defensive All Star from Centerville

Ira Hillary, Bengals former Wide Receiver

James Brooks, Bengals former All Pro Running Back

Pete Johnson, former Bengals Running Back

Tom Browning, former Reds Pitcher

Solomon Wilcots, former Bengal Defensive Back and current ESPN personality

Keith Byars, former Ohio State and Philadelphia Eagles star running back and Dayton native

Hanford Dixon, former Cleveland Browns star Defensive Back

 

The Big Ragu is still looking for his golf ball at NCR North course

NCR Country Club is the perfect backdrop for this event, Monday, with its world class courses.  Thick brush and tricky fairways, will make for a fun and challenging outing.  We wish the participants the best of luck, and the celebs too !

Food Adventures also wishes the foundation and “Fairways for Airways” much success in the future. Thank you to the organizers, like Archer’s owner Dan Apolito, Ickey Woods and the celebs.  Also a shout out to the people who patronize this tournament.  You make the world go ’round !
