A foursome of Seattle's biggest names will battle it out for bragging rights and to raise funds for local charities at the Snoqualmie Showdown, a two-man, best-ball competition that will serve as the countdown event to the 2014 Boeing Classic. Sports Radio 950 KJR AM's morning host Mitch Levy has brought together an impressive pairing of friends and colleagues and will team with Rick Neuheisel, the Huskies' Head Football Coach from 1999-2003, to take on World Golf Hall of Famer and Seattle native Fred Couples, partnering with former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

The four local stars of sports and business will compete in the alternate-shot format during a round at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge on Monday, August 4th, at 2:00pm. All event proceeds will benefit the Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason, the Boeing Classic beneficiary, and A PLUS Youth Program, a local organization that promotes sports as a vehicle to provide the educational resources and character development necessary for student-athletes to succeed in life.

Only 500 tickets will be sold for this event. The first 500 fans who purchase a $100 pass will be able to join in on this incredible event.

Fans who purchase tickets for this unique event will receive exclusive access to watch the competition in a small gallery with a keepsake pass, free parking with a shuttle to the course entry, lunch provided by El Gaucho and a photo of the celebrity foursome.
