Allianz Life to Donate $1,000 Per Lehman Birdie at 2012 Allianz Championship

"This is a fun and exciting way to support the local community and we're confident that Tom, last year's Allianz Championship winner, is up to the challenge," said Allianz Life Chief Marketing Officer Nancy Jones. "Allianz Life is proud to work with Junior Achievement and the Alzheimer Association to further our goals of enhancing financial literacy and senior service programs."

In this challenge, every time Lehman shoots a birdie (meaning 1 stroke under par), Allianz Life will donate $500 each to the southern Florida chapters of Junior Achievement and the Alzheimer's Association. The Allianz Championship runs February 6-12, 2012, at the Old Course at Broken Sound in Boca Raton, Florida.

With 15 chapters in Florida, Junior Achievement is the world's largest organization dedicated to educating students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs. The Alzheimer's Association enhances efforts for researching a cure and provides support and educational services to Alzheimer's patients, families and caregivers.

The Allianz Championship is the Champions Tour's first tournament of the early-season Florida swing. The tournament includes such legends of golf as Bernhard Langer, Nick Price, and Allianz-sponsored golfers Tom Lehman and John Harris. The Golf Channel will be televising all three rounds and tournament event proceeds will benefit the Boca Raton Community Hospital.
