Bryant Brings Corporate and Nonprofit Experience to New Role With Foundation

We are excited to announce that Daniel Bryant will be joining the Cameron Champ Foundation in January as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships.

Bryant, a longtime supporter of Cameron’s journey and our foundation, recently retired after a career of nearly 40 years at State Farm Insurance. He also has extensive experience in the nonprofit sector, having served in national and local roles for the 100 Black Men of America and on the boards of Pre-Collegiate Programs at Sonoma State University, the Sonoma County School to Career Program, and Goodwill Industries Redwood-Empire.

We look forward to having Daniel on our team and are excited to see how his extensive experience in the corporate and nonprofit worlds can help us continue to serve the youth of our community.

Turf Pros Volunteering for ‘Field Day’ at Foothill

Sierra Nevada GSCAA logo and partners

The Sierra Nevada Chapter of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America is sending volunteers from all over Northern California and Nevada to Foothill Golf Course for a “field day” this Monday, Oct. 24.

The Sierra Nevada Chapter and its members are donating equipment, labor, and products to help improve the turf surfaces at Foothill through the aerification of greens, tees, and fairways, as well as overseeding teeing surfaces and applying nutrients to the entire course.

The Sierra Nevada Chapter of the GCSA is made up of golf course superintendents, assistant golf course superintendents, equipment managers, greenkeepers, and affiliates of the golf industry who are dedicated to advancing the golf profession, promoting the growth of the game through inclusion and diversity, and thereby improving communities through the vitality of the game of golf.

The field day will be an annual event, which over time will help promote sustainability and environmentalism at Foothill, which serves as home base for the Cameron Champ Foundation.

We owe a huge thanks to the local golf courses, private clubs and vendors who have shown their support for Foothill Golf Course and the Cameron Champ Foundation!

Pro-Am Raises Over $400,000 to Support Foundation Programs

The Cameron Champ Foundation Pro-Am at the 2022 Fortinet Championship was a tremendous success, with 108 players coming together to raise more than $400,000.

That money will support our foundation’s programs for young people from diverse backgrounds, including college scholarships, the Mack Champ Invitational, STEM education initiatives and more.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Fortinet for hosting our outing for the second consecutive year at the Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, where Cameron earned his second PGA Tour victory in 2019. And it was great to see so many of our generous supporters come together for such a fun-filled day. Marlon Jones and Jayden Lizama, local junior players and Mack Champ Invitational veterans, were also on the course.
