An award-winning line-up of legendary performers will headline the 14th annual Black Enterprise/Pepsi Golf & Tennis Challenge which kicks off August 30 in Miami, FL. The highly anticipated event brings together nearly 1,200 of the nation's top entrepreneurs, business executives, and corporate leaders for a weekend of friendly competition and spectacular entertainment.


The event begins Thursday as Pepsi presents Broadway superstar and R&B vocalist Heather Headley. After starring in Broadway's The Lion King and winning a Tony Award for her performance in Aida by Elton John and Tim Rice, Headley made her transition from stage actress to soul singer with her album This Is Who I Am. The release earned her the 2003 Soul Train Lady of Soul R&B/Soul Album of the Year as well as the Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist.


Friday night, Aetna hosts an evening of laughter with comedian Eddie Griffin. Nicknamed the "King of Hip-Hop Stand-up," Griffin will be followed by one of R&B's all-time greatest party bands-Morris Day & The Time. Saturday, FedEx brings renowned funk ensemble Cameo to the stage followed by the legendary DJ Spinderella.


Sunday, Chrysler presents the final awards dinner featuring a performance by Grammy Award-winning vocalist Erykah Badu. Described as one of the most eclectic performers in the music industry, Badu has performed to sold-out audiences worldwide since 1997 when her groundbreaking debut album, Baduizm, was released to critical claim and commercial success.


A portion of the proceeds from the Black Enterprise/Pepsi Golf & Tennis Challenge will go to the Harlem Junior Tennis and Education Program, a New York-based nonprofit that offers urban children free tennis lessons, and the Bill Dickey Scholarship Association (formerly the National Minority Junior Golf Scholarship Association), a junior golf program that enables interested youngsters to learn the fundamentals of golf. Both programs encourage sportsmanship and afford youth the opportunity to explore academic interests.
