LACBA Counsel for Justice Raises More Than $85,000 for LACBA’s Legal Services Projects

On May 22, 2017, at the Tournament Players Club (TPC) in Valencia, golfers took to the greens in support of the 8th Annual Charity Golf Tournament.  More than $85,000 was raised to support the Los Angeles County Bar Association’s legal services projects: Domestic Violence Legal Services, Veterans Legal Services, Immigration Legal Assistance and AIDS Legal Services.

Nearly 100 golfers competed in several skill challenges throughout the course including chances for hole-in-one prizes of $1MIL, $100K, $10,000 and a variation of on course prizes; straightest drive, putting & longest drive contests; and low net/high gross trophies.

With The Habit food truck, Breezy Freeze shaved ice, Wolf Creek Brewing, festive games and refreshments at the Bronze Sponsor holes, and a blow-out BBQ in the evening, made for a happy crowd.

The event was a success due to the hard work and leadership of the golf committee: Jesse Cripps, Sarah Byrnes, Timothy Colbert, Harry Field, Mark Garscia, Noah Graff, Wes Kennedy, Diane Kimberlin, David Kutzer, and Timothy Yoo.

CFJ expresses a special thank-you to the tournament’s sponsors:
