Dave Davidson, Tournament Chair, reports a record number of 288 golfers filled the Lake and Ocean Courses under cloudless skies along with warm temperatures, slight breezes and beautifully maintained fairways and greens, resulting in perfect playing conditions. A reception, silent/live auction and fabulous dinner immediately followed with over 300 guests in attendance.
Davidson reports that approximately $325,000 was raised from sponsors, golfers, donations and the auctions. John Trauth, President of the OC Foundation along with Davidson presented checks to the major beneficiaries of this event in the amounts of $45,000 to The Emerald Bowl in support of Pop Warner Youth Football and $65,000 to Saint Mary’s College High School of Berkeley, money which will assist in its efforts to renovate and update its outdoor athletic complex. The balance of the money raised will go to support other worthwhile athletic programs in the Bay Area.
The Foundation wishes to express deep thanks for the many sponsors, players, donors, staff and volunteers who helped make this event so successful. Special thanks to our presenting sponsors, American Airlines and RBS Greenwich Capital.
