Earlier this month, Motley Crue front man, Vince Neil, brought some unusual flair to the Lost Canyons Golf Club in Simi Valley for the Skylar Neil Memorial Golf Tournament. He, along with a host of adult film stars, flocked to the greens to raise money to combat childhood illnesses.

“In 1995, I lost my daughter Skylar to cancer, ” writes Neil on his website, “Since that time I have tried to do everything I can to help raise awareness and much needed funding for children’s illnesses. I’m so humbled by the response that we receive from our gracious tournament sponsors and participants for the past eleven years. To date they have helped me to raise nearly two-million dollars to fund research to combat cancer, AIDS and Leukemia. I know that Skylar would be proud of the work that we’ve done, and I couldn’t think of a better way to honor her memory.”

And how does the Lost Canyon Golf Club deal with the number of adult film stars who return year-after-year to honor Skylars memory and raise money for charity? “They’re cool about what we do on the course — the girls, the booze,” Neil said.

“People in the NFL all work with the United Way, and we have this,” said Evan Seinfeld, an adult actor.

Aside from golf, the event hosted a silent auction of sports, music, movie and celebrity memorabilia. During the charity auction, adult film star Gina Lynn offered to join the highest bidder’s team, as both caddy and celebrity guest golfer. The winning bid was $3,500.

“The story’s not about the sex stuff; that just gives it a little extra panache,” said Stuart Koenig whose been playing in the event for 10 years. “Every single player that plays this tournament wants to come back,” he said. “It’s just a really good time. This is the most fun you’ll ever have on a golf course.”

Motley Crüe’s lead vocalist, Vince Neil is hosting the Third Annual OFF THE STRIP $50,000 Charity Poker Tournament from November 2-4, 2007, at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, and a limited number of player seats are being offered to national Rock radio stations for the sold-out Texas Hold Em Poker Tournament.

The radio stations and their advertisers will have the opportunity to sponsor one winner and a guest to participate in a weekend with Vince Neil and his friends at the most thrilling ‘Girls, Girls, Girls’-crammed charity poker tournament in the United States.

Proceeds raised will benefit Vince’s Skylar Neil Memorial Foundation and the TJ Martell Foundation for Cancer, Leukemia and AIDS Research.

In 1995, Vince Neil, lead vocalist of the multi-platinum selling heavy metal band Motley Crüe, lost his daughter Skylar to stomach cancer. Since that time Vince has endeavored to help raise awareness and much needed funding for children’s illnesses. Since its inception, the Skylar Neil Memorial Foundation has donated over one million dollars for Cancer, Leukemia and AIDS research through the T.J. Martell Foundation. All of the proceeds from The Skylar Neil Memorial Foundation Events (The “OFF THE STRIP” Poker Tournament, The Motley Cruise, and the Charity Golf Tournament and Auction), are given to the T.J. Martell Foundation so that it can continue its groundbreaking research.

Columbia/Sony music industry executive Tony Martell, who was instrumental in the signing of Ozzy Osbourne and Stevie Ray Vaughn, among others, founded The T. J. Martell Foundation in 1975 in memory of his son, T.J., a victim of leukemia. The T. J. Martell Foundation, which has raised more than $225 million over 32-years, remains dedicated to raising funds for the innovative initial and ongoing research into the treatments and cures of the world’s three most deadliest diseases, leukemia, cancer, and AIDS at leading research facilities throughout the United States.
