Train, Sting, Eagles' Henley Help Tiger Woods Raise $1 Million
Yahoo! Music, Apr 23, 2002 12:00 pm PDT
(4/23/02, 12 p.m. ET) -- Train, the Eagles' Don Henley, and Sting helped Tiger Woods raise more than $1 million for the golfer's Tiger Woods Foundation in Las Vegas on Saturday (April 20).
Train and Henley both performed at Tiger Jam V--Train playing a set that included covers of Led Zeppelin's "Ramble On" and Aerosmith's "Dream On"; and Henley serving up a show showcasing the numerous hits from his career. Henley also contributed an autographed guitar that was auctioned off for $110,000.
Meanwhile, Sting's fundraising for Woods's charity did not even demand his presence at the Mandalay Bay event. The pop-rock favorite generated another $110,000 through his own auctioned-off donation--dinner with him at his Italian home.
Other items auctioned included two dinners prepared in the winners' homes by world-renowned chef Ming Tsai, both selling for $100,000 each, and a round of golf with Woods himself, which was purchased for $200,000 by basketball legend Charles Barkley.
The Tiger Woods Foundation was established in 1996 by Woods and his father Earl in order to empower young people to excel through the support of community-based programs.
