Black Knight International Presents a Union of Golf and Giving: Europe 2011

Gary Player Invitational Welcomes AHEAD as Sponsor

Black Knight International has had a relationship with AHEAD since 2004, and last year enjoyed sponsorship by the premier head wear company at two of the Gary Player Invitational’s charity golf events in the USA and South Africa.
This year, in celebration of The Player Foundation and in the spirit of giving back, AHEAD have graciously come on board as an in-kind sponsor of all the Gary Player Invitational (GPI) “Global Series” events which sees the prestigious charity tournaments staged on four continents.  AHEAD capitalizes on the international scope of the GPI events, benefiting from brand building and product showcasing in Europe, the USA, China and South Africa.

AHEAD’s core business is that of providing golf hats and headwear to golf clubs around the world. Ken Shwartz, President of AHEAD commented: “Ahead is thrilled to be a part of the Gary Player Invitational Global series of events.  Mr. Player is not just one of the great golf ambassadors to the world but a wonderful humanitarian that has given more than he has ever received. We’re proud to be associated with Mr. Player and look forward to continuing our association for many years to come.”

Over and above this sponsorship of the GPI Global Series, AHEAD has developed fully private labeled hats for Black Knight International’s online shop and corporate partners.

Marc Tudhope, Managing Director of Black Knight International, expressed his appreciation for AHEAD’s support: “The nice thing about a company like AHEAD is that they go above and beyond their relationship as a corporate partner of ours.  I’m delighted to see that they’ve seen the real value in being a sponsor of our charitable events.”

Each of the GPI Events has at its heart the act of giving back to those less fortunate than ourselves. The Player Foundation, the GPI’s primary beneficiary, is in its 26th year, and has successfully raised over $30 Million (USD) in order to bring hope, help and healing to underprivileged children and communities worldwide.
