Brother Benno's charity golf tournament featuring 11-time World Surf League champion Kelly Slater

Surf’s up, and so are the fairway flags as The Brother Benno Foundation presents their eighth annual charity golf tournament fundraiser

The event will feature 11-time World Surf League champion Kelly Slater and a day of ocean views, premium swag, famous sponsors and memorable giveaways. And, oh yes, plenty of golf for a good cause.

Sustainable clothing brand Outerknown and local favorite C3 Bank will return as event title sponsors.

Auctions, live and silent, will feature luxury items and exclusive golf and surfing experiences.

The top live auction prize will be a surfing experience at the Kelly Slater Wave Company’s Surf Ranch, a destination resort in Lemoore, CA. The Surf Ranch is an immersive surf lifestyle experience offering epic waves, farm-to-table cuisine and lifelong memories. Other top auction prizes include surfboards by Slater Design and Firewire, and a custom designed board by Gerry Lopez.

Silent auction items will include golf excursions, sports gear, clothing, gift baskets and restaurant gift cards.

Golf tournament participants will receive a premium swag bag with apparel and golf items from sponsors. Registration begins at 9 a.m., which is also when silent auction bids open. The tournament starts with an 11 a.m. tournament photo and a shotgun start; lunch, snacks and dinner will be provided. A 50-50 raffle will offer a chance to win cash.

Top finishing teams will win special golf outings for foursomes. First place, Aviara Golf Club; second place, El Camino Country Club; third place, Goat Hill Park.

Entry fees are $250 for individual golfers and $1,000 for foursomes. People may sponsor active duty military golfers for $250. (Brother Benno’s will continue its tradition of sponsoring local active-duty military golfers on tournament day.)

Sponsorship opportunities are available at several price levels.

Proceeds will support Brother Benno’s mission of serving homeless neighbors and working poor in North San Diego County by offering essential meals, addressing basic needs, fostering community outreach and supporting addiction recovery.

Since its inception in 2019, the tournament has raised more than $2.1 million for critical need programs in San Diego County.
