The highly anticipated silver anniversary of the Peninsula Golf Challenge will be held Monday, October 1, 2012 at the Sharon Heights Golf & Country Club in Menlo Park.
The Peninsula Golf challenge is a vital source of support for Friends for Youth, the Bay Area nonprofit that matches at-risk youth with mentors and also provides training and technical assistance to other mentoring programs.
As need for mentoring increases both locally and nationally, the Golf Challenge plays a significant role in ensuring that youth in the Bay Area and beyond get the support they need to succeed. In it’s inaugural year, the tournament raised a humble $3,000. Now in it’s 25th year, the tournament aims to raise $100,000 in support of the cause.
Past notable sponsors have included Oracle Corporation, Wells Fargo, Dole, Webcor Builders, and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.
