MIAMI - The 2006 NBA Champion Miami HEAT announced that they have extended their existing partnership with local cigar maker, Tabacalera Perdomo. As part of the company's sponsorship, Tabacalera Perdomo will be the presenting sponsor of the Honorary Captain program, where Season Ticket Holders join the HEAT Team Captains and referees on court before the start of every regular season home game in an exercise of good sportsmanship. Each Honorary Team Captain is provided a box of premium cigars courtesy of Tabacalara Perdomo.

"South Florida's cultural diversity, which is reflected in the audience of every HEAT game, provides fertile ground for the myriad of cigar products offered by our friends at Tabacalera Perdomo," said HEAT president of business operations Eric Woolworth. "Their business, like ours, is a family business and prides itself on nurturing long term relationships with its customers."

All proceeds raised by the tournament benefit the Miami HEAT Charitable Fund. To date, the HEAT Golf Scramble Classic has raised nearly $1 million.
