We help raise money for the Foundation's assistance programs which help our fellow actors. We also spend the day golfing with friends which does wonders for our games. It's a win-win," says Tim Allen, co-host of the SAG Foundation's L.A. Golf Classic.

"At Integrated Wealth Management, we understand the importance of having a safety net in place when financial and medical adversity hits home. The SAG Foundation provides that safety net for many working performers and their families. We're proud to be the presenting sponsor of the SAG Foundation's LA Golf Classic for the fourth year-in-a-row. As a valued client of Integrated Wealth Management, we are committed to doing our part to help ensure the SAG Foundation can continue to provide emergency assistance to performers in crises," said Jim Casey, President and CEO of Integrated Wealth Management.

With the support of the entertainment community and generous sponsors during the past four L.A.

"The SAG Foundation's LA Golf Classic has become the biggest celebrity golf tournament in the country. We have more celebrity golfers playing in our charity fundraiser than any other, which makes us feel tremendously proud because it's all about actors helping their fellow actors. We work in what can be a very erratic and unsteady profession, so it's vital we support our own when they fall on hard times. This is our fifth year doing it and it just gets better each year," says JoBeth Williams, President of the SAG Foundation.
