Human Kindness Club Fairway to Heaven Celebrity Golf Tournament

From Human Kindness Club: Human Kindness Club, a local nonprofit charity organization dedicated to making a difference in the world by giving perpetually to those in need in the community and globally, looks forward to hosting the Fairway to Heaven Celebrity Golf Tournament on Friday, Jan. 25, 2019 at the world-class Pelican Hill Golf Club in Newport Coast with proceeds supporting Make a Wish Foundation and Wounded Warrior Project.

The Fairway to Heaven event will be held at the premier Pelican Hill Golf Club, with a 9 a.m. shotgun tee, on the pristine panoramic ocean north course, which boasts breathtaking views of the Pacific from every hole. After enjoying an amazing day of golf, participants will be treated to evening of inspiring speeches by celebrity guests, a sumptuous dinner, an awards ceremony with prizes for tournament winners, and a silent auction and raffle among other highlights.

“We are so excited to celebrate the awareness of the Human Kindness Club and share this fun- filled philanthropic experience with generous like-minded people,” said David Parish, Founder of Human Kindness Club. “Pelican Hill is absolutely beautiful. It’s the perfect setting for participants to play world-class golf with a dozen pro athletes and celebrities while supporting our mission. Together we will honor Wounded Warrior and help raise critical funds for Make a Wish to help make wishes come true for special children.”

Human Kindness Club was founded as a nonprofit charitable organization to give back to people
in need and to do something great for the community. “They’ve lived their life, have had their successful careers, and now they just want to give back to the community they love and make a difference in the world through perpetual giving,” said Karla VandenBerg, Human Kindness Club, Community Outreach Director. It’s the first time for Human Kindness Club to work with the Wounded Warrior Project and Make a Wish Foundation and through the Fairway to Heaven, HKC is offering participants an incredible opportunity to raise funds, while having an unforgettable time. “We decided to benefit Make a Wish because we all love kids; we all have kids. The founders of HKC have kids and love kids, and they have great hearts, so that’s why we decided to raise funds for them because we believe in making dreams come true,” VandenBerg said.

Also, at the event, Human Kindness Club will be honoring Big Al who founded the Mongols, then turned his life around, and was awarded with two purple hearts. “We believe in Big Al, Wounded Warrior, and all the men and women in our military who bravely fight for our freedom with such pride and integrity; it’s good to give back to them and help them,” VandenBerg said.
Human Kindness Club has supported 140 nonprofit charitable organizations over the years. “Giving back and helping others is the best feeling I have ever had in my life through working for HKC. Helping someone and seeing the look in their eyes, the gratefulness, as they have tears come down, you can see into their soul and that’s a really cool thing,” VandenBerg said. “It’s nonexistent nowadays and many of those people have tons of possibilities. It’s nice they can tell someone else believes in them.” Participants will be vying to win top prizes that include a million-dollar golf shot giveaway, an all- expense-paid trip for two to the Masters via a putting contest, a $10,000 cash giveaway, and a 2018 Ducati Motorcycle generously donated by Fletcher Jones Mercedes in Newport Beach. “Plush swag bags, Mastro's martinis and girls dressed as angels will add some sizzle to the Fairway of Heaven golf tournament,” VandenBerg said. Celebrity golfers include actors Michael Dudikoff, Rick Ravanello, and Kevin Sorbo, and former pro athletes Doug DeCinces, Bryon Russell, Byron Chamberlain, Chris Hale, Ricky Ellis, Tim Salmon, and Ron Brown Gold Medal Olympic Champion to name a few. Fairway to Heaven will be held on Friday, Jan. 25, with a 9 a.m. shotgun tee off, at Pelican Hill Golf Club, Ocean North course located at 22800 S. Pelican Hill Road, Newport Coast. Cost is $380 per person and $1,500 for a team of four. Sponsorships are available as well.
