Celebrities golf the Okanagan

Big name celebrities continue to sign up to golf the Okanagan. 
The Kids Rock Invitational is just weeks away and organizers say the list of who's going to attend is growing daily.
Organizer Jonathan Jackson says the event runs August 27th to 31st as a fundraiser for local charities.
"Three worthy charities are part of this...the Children's Wish Foundation of Canada which is just a great organization, the Canadian Cancer Society BC Division which is Camp Good Times, and the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation which we are really excited to donate money towards. As we know it's an ongoing issue with hospital beds in Kelowna."

Jackson says San Francisco 49's star Chris Doleman was just confirmed today.
Other celebrities include singer Suzie McNeil, actor Dennis Haysbert, and hockey star Mario Lemieux.
Tickets to golf with the stars are $5,000 a pop but spectator passes are available for $45.
