3rd Annual Ickey Woods "Fairway Fore Airways" Celebrity Golf Tournament Weekend is Set for Las Vegas April 14-16, 2024

The star-studded event is set and will be held at the prestigious DragonRidge Country Club. This event will benefit the Jovante Woods Foundation for Asthma Research & youth sports in Las Vegas.

As part of the weekend’s events the foundation will host a Jovante Woods Asthma Awareness Day on Saturday, April 14th, 2024 from 12pm-4pm location TBD. The Foundation will offer free asthma screenings on site and is open to the public. Ickey's son Jovante Woods died in 2010 at the young age of 16. The younger Woods succumbed after two asthma attacks. Ickey Woods has devoted the remainder of his life to fighting this horrible condition and bringing awareness so no other parent loses a child due to asthma.

“As a parent, there is nothing worse than losing a child,” Woods said. “I don’t want any parent to go through what I did so it’s my duty and my calling to fight asthma and do what I can to make sure we put an end to asthma deaths in our country.”

Woods, the former All-Pro running back for the Cincinnati Bengals and member of the UNLV Sports Hall of Fame, was honored during halftime of the Rebels game against Arkansas State on Saturday, September 7th, 2019.
