Bruceski - ALS Benefit

Each year at the end of August, beginning of September when the First Tee Golf Tournament comes into town, Jack London's teams up with The ALS Association Bay Area in an effort to spark public awareness of the need to continue the fight against a defeatable enemy, ALS also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.

The main event of The Bruceski is a BBQ buffet held in the evening on the Thursday of First Tee Weekend at Jack London's Grill. You can enjoy delicious BBQ, learn about current research and hobnob with professional caddies (and golfers) while attending the benefit honoring Bruce Edward, Tom Watson's long time caddie and friend of Jack London's, who died from ALS in the Spring of 2004.
With your admission donation of $50.00 or more (all going to ALS research and support) you get all-you-can-eat buffet, beer and wine from the mini bar and a chance to meet the finest professional loopers in the world, caddies from the PGA Champions Tour. Both golfers and caddies will be present at the BBQ to share their experiences.
While enjoying yourself at The Bruceski you have the opportunity to bid on golf memorabilia donated by the pros themselves as well as to sign up to sponsor The Jack London's Walk Team for the "Walk to D'Feet ALS."

In addition to The Bruceski BBQ soiree, you can join the Jack London's Walk Team who march every year at the "Walk to D'Feet ALS" held in the Fall at El Estero Park.
