Our annual Tee Off for Education golf tournament was held on October 17 at the beautiful Rossmoor Golf Course in Walnut Creek, CA. After a full day of golf, players were treated to dinner and an awards ceremony. Thank you to our generous sponsors and golfers! No matter their scores at the end of 18 holes, through their participation, our golfers made a profound difference in the lives of children we serve—and that makes them winners on anybody’s scorecard! Throughout the event, we captured fantastic images, which you’ll find on our website and Facebook page.
