Support Legacy Of Upstanding South OC Boy At Golf Tourney, Reception

COTO DE CAZA, CA — The South Orange County community is honoring the life and legacy of one exemplary eight-year-old Coto de Caza boy who died unexpectedly early September, as the friends and family of Bradley Rofer announced the establishment of the Bradley Rofer Foundation-Bradley's Beautiful Bouquets in October.

The nonprofit will hit the ground running in its mission to help sick children across South Orange County, a mission that Bradley Rofer carried all throughout his young life.

Friends and family members behind the Bradley Rofer Foundation announced that the nonprofit will be hosting its first annual golf tournament on Monday, Dec. 12 at the Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club.

Along with the golf tournament, the nonprofit will host a cocktail and dinner reception the same day. Proceeds raised from the day-long event will go straight toward the nonprofit's mission to help children in need in South Orange County.

"We are humbled and forever grateful for the support we have received from the community, and we are honored to continue Bradley’s legacy of raising money to help sick children in the community," Mom Josette Rofer told Patch. "His spirit and acts of loving kindness will live on through the foundation."

The Bradley Rofer Foundation will carry on Bradley's legacy in several ways, Josette said. For one, the nonprofit's website will soon have a feature where South OC families can nominate families in need to receive a hand-delivered check from the foundation.

Josette and her 7-year-old son, Connor, will look over every submitted nomination when the time comes to select donation recipients. This is one of many ways the family will not only honor, but celebrate, Bradley's powerful legacy.

In addition, Josette said the nonprofit will work to provide baseball scholarships for children from low-income families to attend the Mark Cresse School of Baseball, a baseball camp well-loved by Bradley.

The foundation will also sponsor the Ronald McDonald Family Room at the Children's Hospital at Orange, a living facility where family members can rest, shower, and recharge inside the hospital, while being just steps away from their hospitalized child.

Orange County residents interested in helping the Bradley Rofer Foundation support Bradley's legacy can register for the first annual golf tournament and reception by visiting the foundation's website.
