Planning & Photographing to Raise over $214,000 for Local Charities

On September 14,  months of hard work planning came together to help raise over $214,000 for local charities. Aliso Viejo Country Club hosted their 11th Annual Charity Classic Golf Tournament and Gala.

In May a friend asked me to help out. I joined the committee to help design logos, flyers and interest materials, marketing the event to sponsors and attendees. The Friday event consisted of a shotgun start golf tournament and afternoon charity fest with mini pony's, fresh BBQ and a Garth Brooks impersonator. Saturday's Denim & Diamonds Gala was an evening filled with two stepping, whiskey tasting and celebrating three great local charities:

• Augie's Quest
• Women Helping Women
• Employee Partners Care Foundation

During the events, I was the designated photographer capturing has much fun, golf, and donations as possible. Between all events over 300 people helped raise $214,000. I owe a big thanks to our Training Manager and graphics expert Tony B for helping me put the finishing touches on the logos.
