About The Okoye
Foundation
Education. Ideas. Sports. The primary mission of the Christian
Okoye Foundation is to capture the passion children have for sports, and direct
that energy to enhance their educational and personal goals. The Foundation
draws at-risk and underprivileged youth by hosting free athletic clinics, where
well-known professional athletes coach the kids. Once at the Foundation’s
events, the kids are given unparalleled training in sports and, importantly, are
encouraged to develop business and entrepreneurial skills by the Foundation’s
corporate sponsors. The Foundation’s decision to use athletics as a vehicle for
exposing the kids to the business world gave rise to the Foundation’s motto,
“Education, Ideas and Sports.”
Through clinics and mentorship, the
Foundation hopes to foster an entrepreneurial spirit in each child. In addition,
the Foundation provides its kids with computer access, and plans to develop
“Tech Centers” to ensure the kids are exposed to technology in a meaningful and
substantial way. In the past few years, the Foundation provided several of its
kids with their first “hands-on” exposure to computers. With the help of local
businesses that set up booths during our events, the children are encouraged to
explore their interests in any area of business or learning. The Foundation then
works with the corporate sponsors to provide support to the kids throughout the
year in their respective areas of interest.

About
Cascata
Cascata, the exclusive desert golf club owned by Caesars
Entertainment, Inc., has been named by Golf Magazine as one of the top 20 golf
courses built in the United States since 1959. The magazine gave the course the
top rank in Nevada.
The "Top 45" list, compiled by noted golf writer
Gary Galyean, ranked Cascata 19th in the nation. Galyean praised Cascata's
"endless desert views" and declared that the luxury golf course "overshadows all
others on the Nevada scene."
The stunning 400-acre golf facility is set
in the foothills of the River Mountains range near Boulder City, just 30 minutes
south of Las Vegas. Designed by legendary golf architect Rees Jones, the course
is available exclusively to guests of Caesars Entertainment resorts.
Soaring 3,200 feet above Las Vegas' desert valley, the par-72 course is
draped across mountain slopes, providing striking vistas at every turn.
Cascata's lush fairways meander for 7,200 yards through the mountain terrain
amid stark desert beauty. Pleasing distractions include multiple waterfalls,
resident bighorn sheep and a magnificent Tuscan-themed clubhouse.
"It's
very gratifying when a publication of the stature of Golf Magazine recognizes
what we at Caesars have known all along - that Cascata is one of the very best
golf courses in the United States, and absolutely the best in Nevada," said
Brian Hawthorne, Cascata's director of golf. "We're honored to receive this very
welcome recognition."
Only one other Nevada course was named to the
list, in the 30th position.
