SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif. – Agri-Turf Distributing’s fifth annual Charity Golf Tournament raised $75,000 for the American Cancer Society.
The event was held on July 18 at the Tustin Ranch Golf Club in Tustin, California. The full tournament started with a shotgun scramble. The tournament even celebrated its first hole-in-one this year, as Rob Van Orsdol of Premium Termite and Pest Control in Lancaster, Calif., hit a hole-in-one on the last hole. He took home a $10,000 cash prize.
“We appreciate the support from our tournament partner, Tri-West, our customers and suppliers," Agri-Turf President Rich Records said. "It is also important to recognize Tustin Ranch Golf Club for hosting a quality tournament. We truly appreciate everyone’s efforts to make this a successful event.”
During the banquet, the check presentation amounted to $72,000, but donations made post-tournament brought the final gift to $75,000.00. Since the tournament began in 2015, the event has raised over $274,000 for the American Cancer Society. Platinum sponsors of this year’s tournament included Bell Laboratories, Brandt Consolidated, MetroFlor and Paradigm Flooring.
“We are so grateful to Agri-Turf Distributing, Tri-West and the participants of this tournament," said Kristin Strauch, the executive director of the American Cancer Society said. "This is an investment in the American Cancer Society. This donation helps save lives by supporting both cancer research, and by assisting cancer patients along their journey."
