SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif. – More than 140 golfers turned out for Target’s 7th Annual Charity Golf Tournament on July 19, at Tustin Ranch Golf Club in Tustin, Calif. The tournament honored the life of Malcolm Stack, the founder of Bell Laboratories, Inc., and celebrated the lives of two recent cancer survivors, Chuck Dal Pozzo of Monterey Agricultural Products, and Steven Stringer of Cleary Chemical Company.

Stack’s wife, Debra, and daughter, Linda Stack Hughes, were among the 140 golfers participating this year. Golfers also included Target customers in golf, nursery, landscape, and pest control markets, and manufacturer representatives from these markets.

After completing 18 holes, participants enjoyed a hospitality hour and dinner, followed by the dedication of the Malcolm Stack Perpetual Trophy Award. Introduced in Stack’s honor, the trophy goes to the tournament’s low gross foursome. This year’s winners included Greg Fukumitsu of Syngenta, Martin Howard of Trump National Golf Course, and Reed Yenny of Hillcrest Country Club. In the spirit of the evening, Malcolm Stack Perpetual Trophy Award winners donated their winnings to the American Cancer Society.

Mary Somers, Operations Director of the American Cancer Society’s Los Angeles Region thanked Target for its “amazing work and another incredible year.” The tournament raised $61,000 for the society—the most money raised in the tournament’s seven-year history.

The American Cancer Society reports cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. The society’s Vision 2015 goals include reducing cancer mortality by 50% and reducing incidents of cancer by 25%.
