FORT WAYNE (Indiana's NewsCenter) - LPGA Hall of Famer Nancy Lopez, one of the most accomplished and well-known players in the history of women’s golf, will participate in the 2012 Mad Anthonys Charity Classic for Children,

Current LPGA pro Angela Stanford, will also be taking part in the June 17-18 event at Sycamore Hills.

Lopez was the most dominant and successful golfer on the LPGA throughout her 25 year career, with 48 career wins, including 3 majors, and winning the money title 3 times.

Stanford, an 11-year veteran of the LPGA Tour, has won five times on tour – including this year’s HSBC Championship – and finished in the top 10 more than 60 times.
