CHW Hospitals of the Central Coast will hold its inaugural Flying Samaritans Memorial Golf Tournament on Oct. 17 at Cypress Ridge Golf Course in Arroyo Grande.
All proceeds from the tournament will go directly to the Flying Samaritans—a volunteer organization operating free medical clinics in Baja California, Mexico—in honor of Roger Lyon, Dr. Graciela Sarmiento, Andre Thiel, and Dr. James Thornton, who were on a humanitarian mission to Baja when they were killed in a plane crash in October 2010.
The tournament begins at 9 a.m., with a shotgun tee-off at 10:30. The cost is $125 per player, with mulligans at $20 each. Registration is due by Oct. 3.
To register, visit flyingsams.org or send a form to P.O. Box 13302, San Luis Obispo, CA 93406.
