Foundation Golf Festival Brings Local Youth to Foothill Golf Course

On Saturday, Oct. 1, we hosted more than 90 local kids for a golf festival at Foothill Golf Course.

They came in two waves from some of our favorite local nonprofit partners, the Ticket to Dream Foundation and City Life Sayonara Center. The kids practiced their golf skills, played the course, shared laughs with friends and mentors, and even got a new pair of shoes from our friends at BEARPAW.

What a great day! Thanks to all of the sponsors and volunteers who made this great event possible.

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.

Foundation Launches Walk With Us Golf Marathon

"Can you make it 100 holes" golf marathon graphic

Golfers nationwide are taking on the challenge of playing 100 holes in support of the Cameron Champ Foundation and our programs.

Participants in the Walk With Us Golf Marathon will complete 100 holes, some in a single day and others over multiple days. No matter how they choose to participate, everyone will walk, run and ride while taking hundreds of swings along the way.

Marathoners will collect pledges and donations from friends, family and colleagues to fuel their efforts and get them across the finish line. Every dollar raised will go back into the hands of families around the country to lower the financial burden of playing competitive golf. These resources will benefit junior golfers who aspire to advance their education and play in college.

To learn more and sign up, go to our Walk With Us Golf Marathon homepage.
