Sign up now to join the fun and help raise over 12k for local charities.

Please let us know if you have any questions about the Southern California Charity Golf Classic. Email Zeb Welborn at Zeb@WelbornMedia.com.

Last year, the money we raised went to:

  • Boys Republic: The money raised for Boys Republic will be going towards their new Culinary Kitchen project. The boys will not only learn the Culinary Arts but also how to be confident in a restaurant setting and help prepare them to become Chefs.  Boys Republic is a private, nonprofit, nonsectarian school and treatment community for troubled youngsters. Since its founding in 1907, it has guided more than 30,000 at-risk teenage boys and girls toward productive, fulfilling lives.

  • The Let It Be Foundation: The Let It Be Foundation cares for an entire family, not just their sick child during the length of medical treatment. A family’s income level is not a qualifying factor to determine if they are eligible. Without love and encouragement, the disease can become the focus of their existence.

  • Wounded Warrior Project: Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is a charity and veterans service organization that offers a variety of programs, service and events for wounded veterans of the military actions following the events of September 11, 2001.

  • Bark for Life: The Bark For Life movement offers an inspiring opportunity to honor cancer survivors, promote how individuals can reduce their cancer risk, and raise money to help end cancer.

  • House of Ruth: House of Ruth’s mission is two-fold: (1) To advocate for and assist women and children victimized by domestic violence and children exposed to violence in transforming their lives by providing culturally competent shelter, programs, opportunities, and education; and (2) To contribute to social change through intervention, education, prevention programs and community awareness.

  • Salvation Army: The money raised for The Salvation Army went towards food to feed the homeless and impoverished community for their Wednesday hot dinner.

  • Corona Firefighters Benevolent Fund: The money we raised when to support Tayvin J. Sheridan. Tayvin was born August 5, 2011, six weeks premature with a hypoplastic right heart and an underdeveloped right arm, right ear and right side facial paralysis. He has received physical therapy since he was 10 weeks old and has undergone two major heart surgeries. Tayvin recently realized his “little ear” is not “normal”. The money we raised went towards his ear reconstructive surgery. He will also have a heart bypass in 2016 and numerous prosthetic arms in his future. Tayvin has made tremendous progress and has become such a smart, active and strong toddler. His determination is a true inspiration to watch.

  • California Scholastic Press Association: The money raised for the California Scholastic Press Association has been earmarked to help pay for a student from the Inland Empire to attend the CSPA Workshop. The CSPA hasn’t had many students from the area, but some financial assistance would make it easier for a budding journalist to attend.

  • Chino Rotary Club: The Chino Rotary Club donated funds to four students from the Share Your Passion Scholarship and to the Ayala Golf Program.

We’ve met so many amazing and passionate people working to grow golf.  A highlight of #GolfChat in 2015 was when professional golfer, Natalie Gulbis surprised #GolfChatters by giving away free tickets to the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay Golf Course.
5. Awards and Accolades

Boys Republic: $904.14

sccgcboysrepublicDavid Kramer, Senior Vice President at Los Serranos Country Club and Michael Toomey, a Boys Republic Board Advisor worked to help make the Southern California Charity Golf Classic a success.
The money raised for Boys Republic will be going towards their new Culinary Kitchen project. The boys will not only learn the Culinary Arts but also how to be confident in a restaurant setting and help prepare them to become Chefs.
Boys Republic is a private, nonprofit, nonsectarian school and treatment community for troubled youngsters. Since its founding in 1907, it has guided more than 30,000 at-risk teenage boys and girls toward productive, fulfilling lives.

The Let It Be Foundation: $828.16

sccgcletitbeRon Capps is the Ayala High School Boy’s and Girl’s Golf Coach. Ron and his teams were instrumental in putting on a highly successful golf tournament. A big thank you to the Ayala High School golf teams who did a great job working the Southern California Charity Golf Classic.
Ron decided to support The Let It Be Foundation.
The Let It Be Foundation cares for an entire family, not just their sick child during the length of medical treatment. A family’s income level is not a qualifying factor to determine if they are eligible. Without love and encouragement, the disease can become the focus of their existence.
The Let It Be Foundation was inspired by Karla Asch-Rosen,
who at the age of 15 was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Karla was a beautiful teen who had been involved in school dance, soccer and was a normal teenager. Her heartfelt desire was to “just be normal” and share her faith with others.
Ruthe Rosen, CEO & Co-founder, was also a big help in supporting the Southern California Charity Golf Classic. And, in an exciting turn of events, Leigh Ann Fatino, one of the organizers of the Southern California Charity Golf Classic is now volunteering with The Let It Be Foundation.

Wounded Warrior Project: $790.17

Gary Christman was all in on the Southern California Charity Golf Classic and worked hard to secure golfers, get sponsorships and donations, and supported the event on the day of the golf tournament.
Gary chose to support the Wounded Warrior Project.
Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is a charity and veterans service organization that offers a variety of programs, service and events for wounded veterans of the military actions following the events of September 11, 2001.

Bark for Life: $509.05

sccgcbarkforlifeLyle Ballard, owner of Town Square Florist and KALEO Real Estate Agent, chose to have his portion of the funds we raised go towards Bark for Life.
The Bark For Life movement offers an inspiring opportunity to honor cancer survivors, promote how individuals can reduce their cancer risk, and raise money to help end cancer. And we won’t stop until we finish the fight against cancer!
With the support of thousands of volunteers, the American Cancer Society is helping save more than 400 lives a day.
Lyle helped immensely on the day of the event getting everything set up for our golfers.

House of Ruth: $615.42

sccgchouseruthVicki Finklestein, Executive Director of the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce, chose the House of Ruth as her charity of choice for the Southern California Charity Golf Classic.
House of Ruth’s mission is two-fold: (1) To advocate for and assist women and children victimized by domestic violence and children exposed to violence in transforming their lives by providing culturally competent shelter, programs, opportunities, and education; and (2) To contribute to social change through intervention, education, prevention programs and community awareness.

The Salvation Army: $577.43

sccgcsalvationarmyThe $577.43 raised for The Salvation Army went towards food to feed the homeless and impoverished community for their Wednesday hot dinner.
Belinda Douglas, the Director of Operations for the Salvation Army | Ontario Corps, was an organizer and huge supporter of the Southern California Charity Golf Classic. She was responsible for tons of tasks throughout the planning and during the golf tournament and we could not have done it without her.
The Salvation Army itself donated trail mix and popcorn for the goodie bags.
The Salvation Army Ontario Corps Community Center offers a wide variety of services. Children in the community are welcome to come to the after school program and free music lessons. There are also scouting programs, art lessons, drama, singing, tutoring and Sunday School. On Tuesdays, there is a women’s support group. There are community dinners Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons. You are also invited to worship on Sunday. All are welcome.
For more than 120 years, The Salvation Army has been delivering services and hope to the less fortunate on the streets of Ontario and Western Inland Empire in Southern California.
The Salvation Army is invested in community outreach, including Food Bank, Box&Hot Meals, Angel Tree, Youth-At-Risk, Summer Camp, Music & Arts Training, Disaster Relief, and Spiritual Counseling.
The Salvation Army is here to help all who come seeking a better life. They offer services to help the homeless, the addicted, the elderly, youth, and anyone else who might need assistance.

Corona Firefighters Benevolent Fund: $1,048.50

sccgcfirefightersDavid and Scott Goodwin were essential to running a successful tournament and helped even though they could not attend.
The money we raised is going towards to help Tayvin J. Sheridan.
Tayvin J. Sheridan was born August 5, 2011, six weeks premature. He was born with a hypoplastic right heart, which means the right side of his heart was extremely underdevelpoed. Tayvin was also born with a underdeveloped right arm, right ear and right side facial paralysis. He has received physical therapy since he was 10 weeks old and has undergone two major heart surgeries. Tayvin recently realized his “little ear” is not “normal” and will be having ear reconstructive surgery October 1st. He will also have a heart bypass in 2016 and numerous prosthetic arms in his future.
Tayvin has made tremendous progress and has become such a smart, active and strong toddler. His determination is a true inspiration to watch and we are so proud of him. Please help us reach our goal so Tayvin can get a “normal” ear!
Help Tayvin

California Scholastic Press Association – $797.77

sccgccspaThe $797.77 we raised for the Southern California Scholastic Press Association has been earmarked to help pay for a student from the Inland Empire to attend the CSPA Workshop. The CSPA hasn’t had many students from the area, but some financial assistance would make it easier for someone.
So, if you know someone in the Inland Empire who is interested in journalism or writing, make sure you tell them about the CSPA Workshop since there is a scholarship waiting for them.
The CSPA is the most prestigious high school journalism workshop in the country and will be back for a 65th consecutive year in 2016.
The workshop accepts 25 juniors or seniors from around the country who are seriously considering a career in journalism. Their volunteer instructors guide an intensive learn-by-doing curriculum that includes news, features, editorial writing, photography, ethics, broadcast and online journalism and social media, and also share their experiences as professional journalists. Recent graduates are studying at some of the top college journalism programs in the country, and they have a growing list of graduates who are enjoying professional success.

“I will tell you this…I play in charity scrambles all over the US and I could not tell this was the first one. Great job in the organization and execution.”

“The whole day is a great memory.”

“When John (Not JohnnyGK) sunk our team’s sole par 3 birdie from about 35 feet away! I made the birdie putt on our sole par 4 hole!”

“It was well organized and most everyone was welcoming and helpful from arrival in the parking lot to the dinner and raffles.”

“I want you to know that I have organized a few of these in my time and I recognized talent when I see it. This event had a lot of moving parts and you were cool when I know things were not going well and you handled yourself with outward calm and professionalism. Well done and please put me on the list for next year.”

“Loved all the baskets and gifts. Loved the golf ball drop. Enjoyed making friends with golfers I didn’t know. Liked the Multi-Charity concept. They are all good charities. Everyone was so friendly and cared about our enjoyment. Liked women’s gifts and baskets. Lacey is a sweetheart. Can’t wait to come next year.”

I wanted to get this recap to you all much sooner than this, but it’s taken this long to make sure we had all the correct numbers and to take care of all the clean up after the event itself.
DSC_0270In total, we had 115 golfers play in the 1st Annual Southern California Charity Golf Classic.
JB, John Gaynor, Danny Samson and Scott Britton won the Southern California Charity Golf Classic with a score of 55 or 17 under par. As winners, JB, John, Danny and Scott will each receive the Green Golf Shirt and free entry into next years golf tournament.
No one had a Hole-in-One on the MK Smith Chevrolet Hole-in-One Hole. John Gaynor won the closest to the pin contest on Hole #2. And Dan Samson won the Money Hole on Hole #17.

Errors

In managing the first golf tournament, we were bound to make some errors. The biggest error was that I forgot to include those who paid for the wristbands to be included in the Money Hole. In cash we had $90, but in total, we had $280 committed towards the Money Hole which means Dan Samson is entitled to an additional $90 in cash. If you know Dan, please have him contact me.

Golf Shirts

Thank you to everyone who purchased golf shirts at the Southern California Charity Golf Classic. We’re placing the order for your shirts this week and will get them out to you when they arrive. (I will let you know when that will be in our next email)

So, How Much Did We Make?

When we decided to put this charity golf tournament on, we wanted to make it as affordable as possible to get as many golfers signed up as possible.
We then wanted to put on a great event that hopefully, you all would like to attend next year.
And lastly, we wanted to make it so good that not only would you come back next year but that you’d tell your friends to join us next year. With more golfers and a higher price point (for new golfers?), we hope to make even more next year.
Together, we raised $7,597.81 for local charities!!!
And here’s how we broke it down . . .

Charity Payouts

In our original planning for the event we decided to split the profits from the event amongst the ten participating charities by guaranteeing all charities would split 50% of the profits while the remaining 50% would be divided amongst the charities you decided to support when you signed up.
Bark for Life = .067 x 7597.81 = $509.05
Boys Republic = .119 x 7597.81 = $904.14
CSPA = .105 x 7597.81 = $797.77
Chino Rotary = .072 x 7597.81 = $547.04
Corona Firefighters = .138 x 7597.81 = $1048.50
House of Ruth = .081 x 7597.81 = $615.42
The Let It Be Foundation = .109 x 7597.81 = $828.16
Salvation Army = .076 x 7597.81 = $577.43
Share Your Passion = .128 x 7597.81 = $972.52
Wounded Warrior Project = .104 x 7597.81 = $790.17

Feedback Survey

As I mentioned during the event, we want to make sure this is the best golf tournament it can be. We built some great momentum this year and I want to get your feedback to see if we can make this event even better for next year.
