RAISING SOME GREEN ON THE GREENS

Staying home this summer let me get involved in a few local golf fundraisers. It’s a great way to spend a hot summer day, while raising some green for a great cause.

I had the chance to sponsor a team to benefit the Rose State College Foundation Scholarship Fund. I got together with my Uncle Guy, family friend Randy Earhardt and my dad. We tied for third, but lost out in the end on the hole–by–hole breakout. But, no worries, we had a blast and the real winner in the end was the RSC Scholarship Fund. The tournament raised a record $41,000. A lot of kids from my home town high school end up at Rose for their first two years of college, so I know these funds will help to benefit them as they pursue a higher education at Rose.

Another group I hit the greens for was the Infant Crisis Center. Their tournament, Birdies and Bogies for Babies was a big success. It was a great day and I got to meet and hang out with a lot of the young teens who serve on the ICS Teen Board, who hosted the golf event. Team Merriman faired a little better in this round of golf, walking away with first place. Again, the real winners here are the babies these funds will help everyday.

Chance and I chill before hitting the greens for Birdies & Bogies for Babies hosted by ICS teens.

COAST TO COAST AND OUT OF THE COUNTRY

As two of ABC’s newest young stars, Kayley Cuoco and I had plenty of time to spend together this summer. We met up from one coast to the other to promote our upcoming shows for ABC. We got to attend advertising and media promotion events in New York and LA, hang out at publicity photo shoots and I had the honor of escorting her to this years’ Teen Choice Awards and the LA premiere of my summer hit Halloween...Resurrection. We had a great time and became good friends.

Kayley stars as Bridget, the popular Barbie–like beauty of 8 Simple Rules which airs on Tuesday nights on ABC. Be sure to tune in and catch the comedy of ABC’s newest hit. The ratings are great and the show has been given a pick up for a full season of shows. Way to go Kayley. Congrats girl!

You can catch me in the role of Nikko starting in January. Veritas is currently shooting the first order of thirteen episodes in Toronto, Canada. So stay tuned for more info. and stay tuned to ABC.
