The Guadalupe Kids Come First Foundation will hold its third annual Golf Tournament fundraiser at Monarch Dunes Golf Course in Nipomo on Saturday, Sept. 24. The nonprofit foundation supports the Guadalupe Union School District’s academic, athletic, and cultural programs.
All money raised supports activities and programs that the school budget can’t cover. Last year, the tournament netted $12,400 and was used for teacher mini-grants to provide educational opportunities for students.
“The foundation is a vital part of our education mission that helps support important supplemental programs, activities, and other necessities,” Guadalupe Unified School District Superintendent Ed Cora said in a statement. “The support from members of Guadalupe and surrounding communities has been unmatched in the past, and we are hopeful everyone will consider participating again this year, either as a player or a donor.”
Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. and tee-time is 9:30 a.m. The cost is $125 per person or $500 for a team, which includes 18 holes, green fees, breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drinks. A dinner with raffle prizes follows the event.
Those interested in playing can register at guadalupekids.org. Registration deadline is a week before the tournament, Sept. 13.
Donations and corporate sponsors are also needed.
