COBB, Calif. – The Lake Community Pride Foundation will host its 10th annual Safe House of Lake County Golf Tournament, Lunch & Fundraiser on Saturday, June 4.
The tournament will take place at Adams Springs Golf Course, located off of Highway 175 at Snead Drive in Loch Lomond.
Golfers will meet and check into the clubhouse between 7:45 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. Tee off will take place at 8:30 a.m. Lunch will be served once all golfers have completed their 18 holes.
Golfers can play a four-person scramble and get lunch catered by Lower Lake Community Action Group for $70 a golfer. This will also include a cart for their game. Those interested in only joining the golfers for lunch can pay $20 for a wonderful meal.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Pride Foundation, which maintains and manages the Safe House of Lake County, where up to six teenagers can find refuge from homelessness or abusive homes.
The six teenagers are required to have good attendance in school, a good grade point average and follow the rules of the house. Along with the teenagers, two adult counselors live at the Safe House as well.
This annual golf tournament is the Pride Foundation's biggest fundraiser of the year.
“It was a beautiful event last year, and all of the attendees reported having a great time and a great meal,” said Bill MacDougall, a longtime Pride Foundation Board member.
“We are supporting our youth in need with the Safe House and the success of our program has been proven by the directions that our residents have taken,” said Bruno Sabatier, another Pride Foundation Board member.
Past Safe House residents have gone on to college at UC Merced, UC Berkeley and many institutions of higher learning. Another previous resident has now started their own “safe house” in the state of Oregon.
If you cannot attend the June 4 tournament but would like to donate money specifically for one item, such as food at the Safe House for a month, please send a check for the amount you wish to donate to Lake Community Pride Foundation, P.O. Box 1042, Lower Lake, CA 95457.
The Pride Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)3 that only operates via volunteer board members and volunteer counselors. All the money raised by the Pride Foundation is used to operate the house and to feed their residents.
