DALLAS – May 5, 2015 – Baylor Emergency Medical Centers is proud to announce it will be an official sponsor of the AT&T Byron Nelson, to be held May 28-31 at the Four Seasons Resort and Club in Irving, Texas.

Located at Hole No. 1, the air-conditioned oasis will feature Xbox entertainment, photo opportunities with the Dallas Mavericks mascots, bounce houses and a miniature putt-putt course, along with other family friendly activities.
“AT&T Byron Nelson promises something for everyone – from the avid golf fans to families,” said Jon Drago, Tournament Director at AT&T Byron Nelson. “KidsZone is a favorite among kids and families and we are grateful that it is made possible through this partnership with Baylor Emergency Medical Centers.”
The annual golf tournament is a tradition in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, with roots dating back to 1968. Last year, the event turned out more than 200,000 spectators.
