RANCHO MIRAGE (Jan. 29, 2014) - Beginning in 1989, Frank and Barbara Sinatra began inviting friends, family and friends they hadn't yet met out to the desert to play some golf and have some major fun while supporting The Barbara Sinatra Center for Abused Children on the Eisenhower Medical Center Campus in Rancho Mirage.

Now in its 26th year, The Frank Sinatra Celebrity Invitational, sponsored by Starkey Hearing Technologies and hosted for the fifth year by Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, is still known as "Frank's little party in the desert" and takes place Feb. 20 through 22 in Indio.

For three days, golfers, guests and the public will mingle with celebrities from the worlds of film, television, fashion and sports in a mix of parties and golf course fun. And, unlike some celebrity golf events, there is free gallery viewing on the golf course and spectators are invited to bring their cameras.

Shotgun start, Day 1: 8:30 a.m., Friday, Feb. 21. Eagle Falls Golf Course.

Shotgun start, Day 2: 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 22. Eagle Falls Golf Course.

There are a limited number of golf packages, starting at $3,500 per player, still available. Packages include golf for one (1) player, amenities and admission to all social functions for two (2) guests.
