“UPTOWN Escape” to Co-Host the 5th Annual Jazz in the Gardens Celebrity Golf Invitational

MIAMI, FL (March 1, 2010) – As the City of Miami Gardens, FL prepares to kick off its 5th Annual Jazz in the Gardens Music Festival, “UPTOWN Escape” will serve as co-host to the Jazz in the Gardens Celebrity Golf Invitational on Friday, March 19th at the prestigious Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort & Club in Aventura, FL. With a solid reputation of attracting celebrity golfers, this year’s Jazz in the Gardens Celebrity Golf Classic will be hosted by NBA legend Julius “Dr J” Erving and a plethora of NBA and NFL athletes.

“The Golf Tournament has grown into one of the hottest tickets associated with the festival. Our corporate sponsors and guests come out and spend a wonderful day of golf with athletes and celebrities they admire,” says Jazz in the Gardens Event Producer Leon Saunders.

UPTOWN Magazine and the Peter Thomas Entertainment Group (PTEG), producers of “Uptown Escape, 2010: An Upscale Getaway,” co-hosting the Jazz in the Gardens Celebrity Golf Invitational is the perfect union. Regarded as a luxury, living, and lifestyle, media outlet, UPTOWN Magazine is a proponent for indulging its readers with a passport to luxury from social to travel to fine dining and the arts.

Peter Thomas is the brainchild of the infamous “How Can I Be Down” music conference that brought music, entertainment, and athletes to South Beach. From owning Club Manhattan, 5th Street Nightclub, Savannah’s Restaurant (which he sold to China Grill and is now Tuscan Steakhouse), and Barcode Restaurant and Lounge all between 1986 and 2005, Peter Thomas is synonymous to South Beach in the same way that Ocean Drive is. Together, UPTOWN Magazine & the PTEG co-hosting the Jazz in the Gardens Celebrity Golf Invitational adds an illustrious flair to an already unparallel experience.
