Diamond Bar Community Foundation and Walnut Valley Rotary tee it up “Fore the Kids”

Staff Reports

Diamond Bar – The Diamond Bar Community Foundation (DBCF) and the Walnut Valley Rotary Club will be hosting their fifth annual golf tournament at Western Hills Country Club in Chino Hills, on May 11, at 9 a.m.  This fund-raising event will benefit local children.

The Golf tournament will include a scramble format, putting contest, breakfast, lunch, a chance to win a car, raffle prizes and silent auctions.

Special guests in attendance will include comedic actor and former teen heartthrob, Scott Baio, local dignitaries and Diamond Bar city officials.

“The Golfing ‘Fore the Kids’ tournament is one of the major fundraisers for both the Diamond Bar Community Foundation and the Walnut Valley Rotary Club,” states Lew Herndon, Fields For Kids Coordinator. “This year the Foundation’s majority portion will be directed to the Fields For Kids Project.”

The Fields For Kids project was formed under the DBCF to raise awareness and concern for the lack of sports fields in Diamond Bar. Today, there are over 6,000 kids that participate in youth sports in Diamond Bar, but there are not enough fields to accommodate them. With the increasing rate of childhood obesity, Diamond Bar cannot afford to turn area kids away due to lack of fields. The Fields For Kids golf tournament will help to put a dent in tackling this decade-old problem.

The DBCF is looking for sponsors and golfers to participate in this exciting event. Visit www.thedbcf.org to sponsor or register today.

The Diamond Bar Community Foundation was established to raise money for art, recreation, and cultural programs in the City of Diamond Bar in order to preserve, protect and enhance the quality of life for its residents. The DBCF is proud to provide sports scholarships and equipment for youth in our community, approve grants for organizations, and fund and support select City events and programs.
