AMANDA’S STORY
This golf tournament is being held to honor the memory of Amanda Paige Post, who graduated with honors from Cathedral Catholic High School and was scheduled to attend CalPoly San Luis Obispo on a track scholarship in the fall of 2010.

On August 9, 2010, Amanda was returning from a high altitude Olympic training camp at Mammoth Mountain when the car she was riding in was involved in a terrible multi-car accident in which she perished, along with her trainer, John Adams, and her friend and teammate, Natalie Nield.
Her assistant trainer, Drew Delis, survived but lost a leg and was seriously burned, and her boyfriend, Derek T homas, was severely burned over 85% of his body and had only a 1% chance of survival when flown by life-flight from the accident scene. Yet miraculously, after 80+ major operations within 36 months, Derek survived and has been able to return to his university studies.
AMANDA POST FOUNDATION
To honor Amanda’s passion for running and her drive for academic excellence, net proceeds from the tournament will be used to fund the “Amanda Post Memorial Scholarship Fund” administered by the San Diego Foundation to provide scholarships and grants to outstanding female student-athletes who have superior grades, will attend a 4 year university, and plan to run for their college NCAA track and cross country team. These scholarships for runners are highly sought after because there is a huge shortage in track and cross country scholarships across the nation.
