RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--7x24 Southern California Chapter today announced that it will host its second annual charity golf tournament on Monday, March 27th, at Tijeras Creek Golf Club in Rancho Santa Margarita. The proceeds from the tournament benefit Children’s Hospital Orange County (CHOC).
The UNC Group 7x24 Southern California Charity Golf Tournament is proud to support CHOC. Last year’s tournament raised $20,000 for CHOC. This year’s tournament will once again consist of a day of golf, networking, food/drink, and concluding with dinner.
“We’re grateful to 7X24 Exchange SoCal for their crucial support, and we look forward to participating in this year’s tournament,” said Colleen Torres, Senior Associate Director, Digital Philanthropy, CHOC. “7X24 SoCal’s contribution will go a long way in supporting the critical work of the hospital.”
SoCal 7x24 Exchange will host a Scramble Tournament. Registration for the tournament opens at 11:00 a.m. There will be many contests, such as putting, $10,000 Hole-in-one contest, Longest Drive, and Closest to Pin.
“Our first tournament was a huge success, and we’re excited to once again partner with CHOC and contribute to their important work,” said Gil Granados, President, 7X24 Exchange Southern California Chapter. "This is a great cause, and I am looking forward to seeing all of our friends that make up the SoCal data center ecosystem.”
Donations to CHOC will help with telemedicine, social services, innovative research, and clinical assistance. Children’s hospital donations are more critical now than ever. As a non-profit hospital, CHOC treats over 250,000 children annually, regardless of their ability to pay.
