The 25th annual Ron Jaworski's Celebrity Golf Challenge will take place May 16-18 at Harrah's Resorts Atlantic City and its Atlantic City Country Club.

Run and hosted by the former Eagles quarterback and current "Monday Night Football" analyst, the bash will include a Saturday night Poker Open as well as Sunday's main event on the links. The entire event is a fundraiser for United Way Charities.

Among the gridiron figures already announced to participate are former NFL head coaches Bill Cowher (Steelers) and Mike Ditka (Bears), former quarterbacks Jim Kelly (Bills), Joe Theismann (Redskins) and Rich Gannon (Vikings, Ciefs, etc.). Also set is current Ravens' QB (and South Jersey native) Joe Flacco.

While you'll have to pony up big time to play cards and/or golf with these and other celebs, you can watch the action both days for $15 a pop.

For more information and a full schedule of events, call (888) 505-7070, or go to www.jawsyouthfund.com.

About Chuck Darrow
Philly native Chuck Darrow has literally covered Atlantic City’s casino scene since Day One: He was there on assignment the night in November 1976 when voters approved legalized casinos.

Since then, Chuck has covered the town and its gaming industry for several area newspapers -- which is why, in some circles, he’s known as “Boardwalk Charlie.”
