 BIG TIME FUN(DRAISING)
Nearly 250 golfers and 500 dinner guests took part in the 16th Annual Cancer for College Golf Classic. In all, more than $200,000 was raised through the event!

 CHANGING LIVES
Cancer for College works to change the lives of cancer survivors and help them reach their dream of a college education.
At this year's event, we heard the inspiring words of perpetual scholarship recipients Christine Pechera and Andrew Sternlight. We also saw the audience spontaneously raise $25,000, lead by our auctioneer Viveca Paulin, for one-time scholarship recipients Melanie Hansen, Sabrina Rowe, Alicia Varenas, Kelli Vigorito and Brad Connors. This effectively turned those scholarships into multi-year scholarships!

 SOME HELPING HANDS...
It's
not only corporate donors and generous participants that play an
important role in the success of our event, it is our incredible
volunteer base too.
The Cancer for College Golf Classic utilizes over 50 volunteers including Delta Tau Delta Members from USC, Gamma Phi Beta girls from San Diego State and Hooters of Rancho Bernrado. The event also receives generous product donations from companies like HP (lap top computers for the scholarship reciepients), Monster (energy drinks for the players), to companies like Extreme Signs & Graphics that once again provided all the printed materials, event signs and banners at the event and Bogey Pro which produced all the humorous tee signs.
Thanks to everyone who gave their time, money and talent to the event. If
you would like to get more involved in next year's golf event at the
planning and committee level, please contact Greg Flores at
760.599.5096 or greg@cancerforcollege.org.
