Drink Wine, Play Golf, Help Children - Baja Wine Country News with Steve Dryden
The Third Annual Golf4Niños Event will take play on Saturday June 12th at the Baja Country Club of Ensenada at Francisco Modero Canon in San Carlos, south of Ensenada. Don’t miss a golden opportunity to enjoy a festive day in a beautiful setting to benefit Agua Viva Guarderia ~ a children’s shelter, day care center and orphanage located in the rural farming community south of Ensenada. For those who don’t play golf, but would like to contribute, you’re invited to attend the fiesta, auction and raffles. The live auction includes great vacation packages with raffles for lots of fun gifts, wine packages and more. This Fiesta begins immediately after the golf tournament at approximately 1:00 p.m and is located on the northeast end of the golf course. Catered taco feast, live music, auction, raffle, beverages, wine, sponsor displays and fun for non-golfers makes this a benefit event worth supporting. The event also includes a post tournament awards reception and live auction.
The golf event begins with coffee, pastries, orientation and registration at 8:00 a.m followed by a shotgun start at 9:00 am. Four men scrambles, hole-in-one contest, longest drive, closest to the pin, and putting contests enhance the excitement of the event. Pre-registration is required with a fee of $75 per golfer, with the deadline for registration in June 4. 2010.
