CAMARILLO — Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ventura County (BBSVC) is seeking a new Title Sponsor for its 45th annual Golf Classic! BBSVC’s Golf Classic is the organization’s top-performing event, which delivers the funds necessary to support 1,500 at-risk youth in Ventura County. Former Los Angeles Rams Quarterback, Vince Ferragamo, returns as the event’s celebrated host and keynote speaker.
The tournament will be held on Monday, May 7, 2018. The BBSVC Golf Classic is returning to Saticoy Country Club in Somis for a day of golf, dinner, giveaways, entertainment, auctions, and the much-anticipated Travis Mathew Experience.
The BBSVC Golf Classic raises the much-needed funds to help to change the trajectory of youth facing adversity in Ventura County through long-term mentoring. Golfers interested in registering to participate in the sixsome, Texas-scramble format are encouraged to register quickly, as registration is expected to sell out again this year. In addition to the Title Sponsorship ($30,000) other sponsorships are available at varying levels of involvement.
“This year’s Golf Classic is especially important. The funds raised in 2018 will help support a number of our youth who were traumatized by the impact of the Thomas Fire in their area – whether they were in Santa Paula, Fillmore, or Ventura,” says BBSVC CEO Lynne West. “In addition to directly working with each family, we are taking on the task of ensuring that all of the Bigs in our program are trained to be trauma-informed so that they can become a better resource for their mentees during the healing process.”
The growth and professional support of BBSVC’s one-to-one mentoring programs and school site programs throughout the county rely on the generous support of sponsors and local community members. Says West, “We’re so excited to celebrate this positive impact our friends and community partners make by building a more exciting Golf Classic event every year for all to enjoy.”
