From November 12 to 13, The Moyer Foundation will hold their 8th Annual Celebrity Golf Classic at Torrey Pines in San Diego. Benefiting the foundation’s programs for children affected by loss and family addiction and military families, foursome golfers will be joined by a celebrity guest including MLB All-Stars Jamie Moyer, Trevor Hoffman, David Wells, Mike Sweeney, Bret Saberhagen and Jermaine Dye.
Kicking off the two-day classic will be a dinner gala with a silent auction, entertainment and cocktails at Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. Performing during the evening will be Atlantic Records recording artist, Christina Perri, and rock singer-songwriter David Cook, season seven winner of American Idol will also be in attendance. “When I was given the opportunity to be a part of this event, I accepted immediately,” said Perri. “I’m honored to support the important work of The Moyer Foundation.”
The following day, participants will have a 12 noon shotgun time as they make their way around the South Course which will include a post-tournament reception and awards ceremony. Proceeds for the event will support Camp Erin® and Camp Mariposa®. Camp Erin works with children ages 6-17 who’ve experienced the death of someone close to them and is held annually through a partnership with The Elizabeth Hospice. Camp Mariposa, in partnership with San Diego Youth Services, works with teens 9-12 whose families have been affected by addiction. It is held six times a year.
Through the free programs that combine fun with traditional camp activities, children and teens are able to cope with what they have or are going through with expert counselors. Overall, the camps have reached more than 2,600 California children since The Moyer Foundation’s inception.
