Golf Tournament to Raise Funds for Youth Programs
Golfers will tee up next week in a fund-raising tournament to benefit the Community Youth Sports and Arts Foundation, which provides educational opportunities for at-risk youngsters, officials said.
The Friends of Youth tournament, scheduled for Thursday, is the 15-year-old organization’s first golf-oriented fund-raiser, said program director Tom Martin.
He said he hopes the tourney will gross $25,000 for the foundation and become an annual event.
The Community Youth Sports and Arts Foundation serves South-Central Los Angeles youths ages 12 to 19 through its continuation school, a group home for displaced young men, arts workshops and opportunities to attend sports events and other public performances.
Entry fees for the tournament range from $150 for individuals to $1,000 for corporate-sponsored foursomes.
The tournament will start at 11 a.m. Thursday at the California Country Club in Whittier. Information: (323) 294-8320.
