"We are delighted to have so many community members, celebrities and corporate sponsors participated in this year's golf tournament fundraiser," says Stefan de Nocker, Tournament Director and ACT Today! board member. "This was the most successful ACT Today! Golf Tournament Fundraiser to date."
The 18-hole tournament began at 9:30am with breakfast/registration, followed by a Putting Contest with a chance to win a Porsche for the weekend, courtesy of The Auto Gallery. ACT Today! Volunteers lined the pavement holding banners as they cheered the golfers onwards to the course for an 11am Shotgun start. On course, golfers had a chance to Beat the Pro and win cash by golfing against pro golfer Richard Howell. Those who tried their luck at a Hole-in-One had a chance at winning two first class tickets to Paris with four nights of luxurious accommodations, compliments of New York Life Insurance.
The tournament concluded with Cocktails/Silent Auction and a special visit by the LA Laker Girls who mingled with the players and later presented awards to the tournament winners.
