You don't need to be a golfer to win big at the 35th Annual Frontier Toyota/Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital "Drive Safe" Golf Classic at Valencia Country Club on May 17.

A $50,000 Helicopter Golf Ball Drop will also take place at the event.

During the drop, a total of 1,800 golf balls will be released from the sky toward a target hole. If one of the 10 closest balls to land near the target hole matches a pre-selected winning number, the ticket holder will win a $50,000 grand prize.

A first- and second-place closest-to-the-target-hole ball will win a guaranteed $2,500 and $1,000 prize.

Tickets for the exciting $50,000 Helicopter Golf Ball Drop are available through the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Health Foundation at $20 each or six for $100. Winners don't have to be present at the Classic to win.

Proceeds from the event, including Helicopter Golf Ball Drop tickets, will benefit emergency and trauma services at Henry Mayo; nearly $280,000 was raised in 2007.

"For $20, not only will you have a chance at a big prize, but you'll be helping out your community hospital," said Diana Vose, Henry Mayo Health Foundation President. "Every dollar raised at the Classic helps Henry Mayo provide life-saving services for our community when they need it the most."
