ST. CLAIR — Thirty-two teams teed off Monday in the 12th annual Shawn Burr Foundation Celebrity Charity Golf Classic at St .Clair River Country Club.

The event raised money for the foundation, which benefits local charities. The amount of money raised is not yet known.

Each team was paired with a celebrity, many of them former hockey players.

There were some current players in attendance, however, as Detroit Red Wings forward Todd Bertuzzi played with one of the groups. Port Huron native and 2010 Dallas Stars draft pick Jack Campbell was also one of the celebrities in the outing.

Among the others were former Red Wings Burr, Dino Ciccarelli, Dave Lewis (coach), Dennis Hextall and John Ogrodnick. Other former NHLers included Craig Wolanin and Pat Peake.

Former members of Port Huron’s professional teams in attendance were Jon Hillebrandt, Bobby McKillop, Kraig Nienhuis and Jon Finstrom.

Frank Beckman, the play-by-play man for Michigan football games and radio host on WJR, also was on hand.

The outing was preceded by a luncheon, which featured a speech by Mitch Albom.

Afterward, this year’s “Super Kids” were recognized. Tim Blythe and Jada Rodabaugh shared that honor.

Silent and live auctions, as well as a raffle, also were held. Among the live auction items was a trip for two to Las Vegas for two nights, including airfare.
