The Laguna Hackers held the 18th Annual Bob Margolis Memorial “18 For The Kids” Golf Tournament to benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Laguna Beach on Monday, June 25th, 2018 at the Aliso Viejo Country Club. The event featured a “scramble format” golf tournament, silent auction, helicopter ball-drop raffle, and dinner. Generating over 150 golfers, this golf tournament raised $25,000 Net for the Bluebird Branch of the Boys & Girls Club every year. Harry Bithell of Surterre Properties and long-time Laguna Hacker chaired the event. He leads an incredible committee of fellow realtors residing in Laguna Beach who meet to play golf every Thursday on golf courses all over Orange County.
Harry Bithell, who chaired the founding committee for The Girls Club in 1971, moved a donated building to the Bluebird Park site. He keeps the now deemed Bluebird Branch of the Boys & Girls Club of Laguna Beach, close to his heart with this special event. Bithell adds, “This great team effort was coordinated by the Laguna Hackers, Boys & Girls Club, and the Margolis Family. We keep this tradition going because we believe in the Boys & Girls Club and the legacy our dear friend Bob Margolis left behind which was to always give back.”
This annual tournament is in memory of Bob Margolis, whose generosity and outstanding character is honored by raising much-needed funds for local charities. Over the past 18 years, this event has raised over $250,000 for the Bluebird Branch of the Boys & Girls Club of Laguna Beach to ensure hundreds of children each year have a life enriching experience and brighter futures.
