The inaugural John Anderson Celebrity Golf Invitational, held June 28 at the Country Club of Missouri, raised $30,000 for the Columbia-based Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri, organizer Susan McNay said.
Anderson, who anchors ESPN’s “SportsCenter” and co-hosts ABC’s reality show “Wipeout,” is a 1987 graduate of the MU School of Journalism.
About 140 golfers played the course. There were 28 teams with five members, including one celebrity in each group.
Among the former MU football stars playing in the tournament were Chase Daniel, Corby Jones, Phil Bradley, Mel Gray, Johnny Roland and Gus Otto. Former St. Louis Cardinal great Lou Brock also participated.
