This tournament is all about kids!   Proceeds from this event will be donated to:

The SCGA Foundation - working to make the game and its inherent values more accessible to kids who might not otherwise have a chance by sponsoring the education of youth through golf programs that include;

Youth on Course, in a partnership with the NCGA Foundation, "is a statewide initiative. Both Foundations believe that golf teaches integrity, character, and responsibility in a way that few activities can match.. With affordable access to golf, the game will continue to grow, but more importantly, youth will have the opportunity to experience the life skills that it teaches on a more frequent basis."

Giving Back Through the Game Grants which since 2002 "has given over $500,000 in grants to youth service organizations that use golf as an incentive to teach life skills and provide educational opportunities for kids" such as Boys & Girls Clubs, The First Tee and Junior Golf Associations;

AND to:

The City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks Rancho Park Starter’s Youth Golf Program - working to provide children the basic fundamentals of the game and "an opportunity for children ages 7 through 18 to develop their golf skills, competition skills, and relationships with their peers."

In tribute to Rancho life-member George Von Elm, who defeated Bobby T. Jones, Jr. in the 1926 U.S. Amateur Championship, contributed to 3 Walker Cup winning teams, won 3 SCGA Amateur Championship titles and countless victories in amateur play. 

One of the inaugural golfers inducted into The SCGA Hall of Fame, George remains to this day in the SCGA Amateur Championship record books for the largest margin of victory in match play, 12 and 10 over Norman MacBeth in 1925; and in the PGA record books for his famous second place finish in the longest play-off against Billy Burke in the 1931 U.S. Open, 72 extra holes.

His brand of honorable golf, adherence to the Rules of Golf and passion for high level competition will not be forgotten.
