Leading the tournament’s continued growth is Sam Weaver, Chairman of LLF’s Golf Committee and founder of Sam Weaver Media.

His longstanding commitment to mentorship and industry advancement has helped elevate the tournament into one of the Foundation’s signature fundraising events.
Weaver shares, “Each year, this tournament represents more than a day on the course — it’s an opportunity for our industry to come together and invest in the next generation. Supporting Black college students who aspire to build careers behind the scenes in music, media, and entertainment ensures that our business continues to grow with diverse, innovative leaders at the helm.”
Each year, the A.D. Washington Golf Tournament reinforces LLF’s mission to cultivate future leaders behind the scenes of the entertainment industry. A.D. Washington was one of the most successful Black music executives of his time, instrumental in shaping the careers of iconic artists including New Edition, Bobby Brown, Jodeci, Teddy Riley, Guy, and Patti LaBelle, among many others. He also served as Chairman of the LLF for what was a record 12 years, helping to expand the Foundation’s reach and impact. By investing in students who aspire to shape marketing campaigns, lead communications strategy, and innovate music distribution, the Foundation ensures that the next wave of executives and creatives are equipped to thrive.
