Santo Domingo.– The latest foursome to join the has stepped up to the tee with significant support for children in need. JetBlue, Reebok, vitaminwater and Sharp Electronics were announced as MVP partners for the 2009 David Ortiz Celebrity Golf Classic, which takes place from December 3-6 at Cap Cana.

“I really value the efforts of JetBlue, Reebok, vitaminwater and Sharp in their sponsorship of the Celebrity Golf Classic,” said David Ortiz. “They make it possible for all of us to gather together, play some golf and raise funds for children who can’t afford the healthcare they need.
