Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort is celebrating its ninth year as the Central Florida host of the RCI Christel House Open on Monday, June 13.  The annual event is held to support the Christel House mission of helping children around the world break the cycle of poverty. The tournament will be hosted at the resort’s 18-hole, Arnold Palmer-designed Legends golf course, recently voted in the “Top 10” courses in Orlando by GolfOrlandoFlorida.com. Sponsorship opportunities are still available for participating in this event for a great cause.  

Considered the largest single-day, charity golf tournament in the world, the RCI Christel House Open is spread out across 19 tournament sites spanning five continents. More than 1,800 golfers will tee off on this day for the charity—and 100% of the worldwide proceeds will go to programs and services that directly benefit the more than 3,000 children of Christel House.

The Christel House mission is a cause close to the heart for Orange Lake’s Chairman, Spence Wilson—son of Kemmons Wilson, founder of Orange Lake and also the Holiday Inn hotel chain—and Don Harrill, President and CEO of Orange Lake Resorts. Last year, the two visited Christel House Mexico—a school with more than 350 students that continues to rank in the top 10% of all public schools in Mexico.
