SANTAG FE SPRINGS – The Agri-Turf Tri-West 6th Annual Charity Golf Tournament held on Oct 1, 2020, at the Tustin Ranch Golf Club in Tustin, California, raised just over $70,000 for the American Cancer Society. In the past six years, tournament has raised over $339,000 for the American Cancer Society.
The original tournament date of June 4 was moved to Oct. 1 due to the pandemic. The look and feel of the tournament changed in accordance with the pandemic, but golfers turned out just the same, and were eager to support the American Cancer Society.
After a round of 18 holes, that included a car contest hole sponsored by Orange County Mazda, and a cash prize hole, guests enjoyed a brief hospitality, online silent auction, and barbecue dinner.
Agri-Turf President Rich Records announced the tournament awards, and introduced, Kristin Strauch, Executive Director of the American Cancer Society – Western Region. Strauch stated, “This has been a tough year for the American Cancer Society. We have had to downsize, and make significant changes, but the goal and the mission of the American Cancer Society remains unchanged – we are here 24/7 to provide support and services to cancer patients and their families, and to support cancer research. We appreciate everyone’s involvement in this tournament. The funds you have raised today are so greatly needed. Thank you for your dedication.”
Agri-Turf President Rich Records recognized Allen Gage and Aaron Rhoderick of Tri-West Ltd. for co-hosting the event. He also thanked the participants who remained supportive of the event in a challenging year.
