This weekend, the city of Greenville, Mississippi will host a remarkable convergence of stars, smiles, and benevolence at the 14th annual Delta Soul Celebrity Golf & Charity Event. Organized by renowned Mississippi musician Steve Azar, this charity event, scheduled for June 12-14, promises a memorable weekend filled with camaraderie, competition, and community spirit.

A Tradition of Giving

Founded by Azar, who is as beloved for his music as for his commitment to philanthropy, the event has quickly become a staple in the Delta region. “We’ve got a couple of hundred folks from all over the country coming down here,” Azar expressed with pride. “All of the proceeds go to the Steve Azar St. Cecilia Foundation,” supporting a myriad of local programs and initiatives.

Through its history, Delta Soul has facilitated over \(1.5 million in charitable donations to exceptional organizations such as Camp Looking Glass and the Boys & Girls Club of Washington County. The event's economic impact has been profound, infusing over \)40 million into the local economy.

A Team Effort

While Azar’s name headlines the event, he acknowledges the collaborative spirit that drives it forward. “I get the credit, but the credit belongs to our volunteers, our sponsors, our celebrities, our vendors, and everyone else who runs the show,” he humbly stated.

Star-Studded Line Up

The draw of Delta Soul extends beyond its charitable cause to its robust roster of celebrities. This year’s event features an astonishing lineup including Olympians, NFL and MLB alumni, actors, comedians, and musicians. Notables include Olympians Terry Ahola and Steve Lundquist, former NFL stars John Bond and Tim Fox, actors Richard Karn and Tudi Roche, and musicians like Branford Marsalis and Jim “Soni” Sonefeld.

More Than Just Golf

While the golf tournament is the main attraction, attendees will also enjoy a vibrant array of activities. Concerts, a silent auction, and a festive catfish fry ensure there’s something for everyone, enhancing the joyous atmosphere and underscoring the community spirit of the Delta.

A Community United

“There’s nothing like bringing our celebrity friends and sponsors together…,” Azar shares, encapsulating the essence of Greenville and the Delta’s welcoming charm. “Great food, incredible music, and our people coming together to raise money to invest back into this community.”
