‘Seinfeld’ actor takes on celebrity friends in Ultimate Golf BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor
A
ctor John O’Hurley knows the Valley well. He was the Xerox spokesperson when the company sponsored the Phoenix Open. He’s also a celebrity ambassador for Scottsdale’s Childhelp. “I will tell you the most embarrassing thing happened to me one of the years when Xerox sponsored the Phoenix Open,” said O’Hurley, who played J.

Childhelp is an internationally respected nonprofit and the largest organization dedicated to helping victims of child abuse and neglect and at-risk children. Childhelp has made significant progress toward its mission of helping victims of child abuse and neglect through prevention, intervention and treatment. “I’ve been one of Childhelp’s celebrity ambassadors for, probably, 12 years now,” he said. “I have spearheaded a lot of their fundraising and several of my events throughout the year.” “I had a golf tournament in the Palm Springs area,” he said. “We had it every year at Porcupine Creek.
