ALISO VIEJO COUNTRY CLUB PARTICIPATED IN
“THE CLUBCORP CHARITY CLASSIC: CELEBRATING A LEGACY”
ON FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 26TH, 2008
The World’s Largest One-Day Charity Golf, Tennis, and Dining Event
ALISO VIEJO, CA — Aliso Viejo Country Club recently participated in the Second Annual “ClubCorp Charity Classic: Celebrating A Legacy,” the World’s Largest one-day Charity Golf, Tennis, and Dining event. More than 140 golf clubs, country clubs, businesses, and sports clubs around the country opened their courses and dining rooms to an estimated 25,000 members, guests, and patrons.
This nationwide event raised money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s Augie’s Quest, and for ClubCorp’s Employee Partners Care Foundation, along with a selected charity of each Club’s choice. Aliso Viejo Country Club selected Savannah’s Organic Ranch, benefiting pediatric cancer, as their charity of choice. 100 percent of donations received at the ClubCorp Charity Classic benefit these charities directly!!
“We are proud to be a part of this great event not only in our community, but nationally,” stated Scott Lester, General Manager at Aliso Viejo Country Club. “It is very satisfying to know that the monies raised will benefit these worthwhile charities, especially one that is very near and dear to our Club’s heart, Savannah’s Organic Ranch,” he continued.
The ClubCorp Charity Classic festivities at Aliso Viejo Country Club kicked off at 1:00 p.m. with a Shotgun Golf Tournament. Following this tournament, the evening continued on at 6:00 p.m. with a night of Latin fun. Throughout the evening, guests had the opportunity to indulge in a tapas-style dinner complete with Sangria.
“We are humbled by the graciousness of ClubCorp and the extreme generosity by the staff at Aliso Viejo Country Club,” stated Joe Sachen III,
President of Savannah’s Organic Ranch. “Their donation will help us to build our foundation whose purpose is to support an organic lifestyle to create healthier generations. We are also assisting families who are battling pediatric cancer in a variety of ways, and plan to support organizations solely devoted to researching a cure for pediatric cancer. Our Foundation was formed in May 2007, the same month our daughter passed away from a rare form of pediatric cancer. She was 8 years old. Her name is Savannah Lee Sachen. This was her dream. She always cared more about others than her own self and we are just carrying her torch,” he continued.
Individuals wishing to donate to the three worthwhile charities benefiting from this event, but unable to attend the day’s festivities, still participated by donating directly to the ClubCorp Charity Classic.
