A-List of Broadcast Execs, Celebs Set For BFA Golf Outing

The Broadcasters Foundation of America has announced a new time for this year’s Philip J. Lombardo Charity Golf Tournament. Attracting an A-List of broadcast industry executives, the charitable event will begin at 8am PST for registration and breakfast, followed by a shot-gun start at 9am, on Sunday, April 7, at   the Bali Hai Golf Club, in Las Vegas. 

Held during the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show, the annual fundraiser is named in honor of the Broadcasters Foundation Chairman Emeritus, Phillip J. Lombardo and raises money to help broadcasters in acute need.

Every year, top-level broadcast industry leaders and celebrities turn out in support of the Foundation’s mission and to enjoy a morning of golf with their colleagues before the NAB kicks into high gear.

He also is a past Joint Board Chairman of the NAB. Lombardo is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Citadel Communications Company, Ltd., which owns and operates TV stations.

The Broadcasters Foundation has distributed millions of dollars in aid to broadcasters who have lost their livelihood through a catastrophic event, debilitating disease or unforeseen tragedy. Personal donations can be made to the Foundation’s Guardian Fund. Corporate contributions are accepted through the Angel Initiative, and bequests can be made through the Legacy Society.
