Tee Up With Special Olympics!

by | Jul 1, 2016 | Community

 The Special Olympics Charity Golf Tournament 2016 will be held on Monday, August 15 and will be back at the beautiful TPC Valencia.  Our 2016 Golf Tournament Chair is Captain Mike Hartmann of the Ventura Sheriff’s Department, and he is bringing some new, fun ideas to this year’s event.  Tournament check-in starts at 7 a.m.; the Putting Contest starts at 7:30 a.m. with a shotgun start at 9 a.m.  Our after-tournament buffet will include awards, raffle items and silent auction, which will start as soon as the golfers finish on the course.  The event supports Special Olympics Santa Clarita and Tri-Valley athletes.
“The annual Special Olympics Golf tournament is a great day of golfing at a beautiful course with fun games, great food and drinks,” said Dianne Stevenson, golfer.  “It’s also a great day with the community coming together to help raise money for the Special Olympics.  This is a golf tournament you don’t want to miss!”
Special Olympics Santa Clarita and Tri-Valley provide year-round Olympic-type sports to those with intellectual disabilities.  Special Olympics sports include bowling, floor hocking, soccer, softball, tennis, volleyball in our fall/winter season, as well as aquatics, athletics, basketball, bocce, golf, gymnastics for summer/spring sports.  We have more than 1,300 community athletes in our regions.  Our traditional programs are for those ages 8 and older and our Young Athlete Program is designed for those two to seven years old.
All the money raised from this golf tournament goes to Special Olympics athletes in the Santa Clarita and Tri-Valley.  These funds help cover program costs including transportation, equipment, practice facilities and uniforms.  We have 30 practice facility locations in our two regions.  We have about 600 volunteers who are coaches, as well as assist coaches who attend weekly practices and two or three tournaments per season with their team.
