Arcadia Sponsors Golf Tournament Benefiting Orangewood Children's Foundation
3.26.10 | Dana Point, CA | It’s not every day, or any day for that
matter, that you might expect to see chairs on the greens of a golf course, but
that was the scene on March 7 at the Athletes First Classic golf
tournament. Benefiting the Orangewood Children’s Foundation, a
private, nonprofit organization serving abused and neglected children in Orange County, California
for more than 25 years, this annual charity event brought together rookie and
professional athletes, local business owners and sports enthusiasts alike to
raise donations amidst two days of revelry.
Athletes First Classic Golf Tournament
A sponsor of the 18th hole, Arcadia provided four of its new Caption conference/executive chairs for players to relax in while remaining team members gave it their best shot, both for their team game as well as in an individual competition for the longest drive. Making it even more interesting, the drive had to be executed while sitting in a Cerra XT chair, a heavy-duty model from its sister company Encore Seating. Many couldn’t resist the opportunity to give it a try and for some, it was their best shot of the day. The winner received a 60-degree Cleveland wedge, and the envy of all his peers.
Based in Newport Beach, CA, Athletes First is a sports representation firm that has been working with Orangewood for the past five years and has donated proceeds from galas and golf events, raising more than $350,000 each year. The Athletes First Classic is the company’s signature event, bringing together the company’s clients for a weekend extravaganza that includes a dinner program, silent and live auctions and finally, a unique golf tournament.
Arcadia’s sponsorship of the Athletes First Classic is but one of the many ways the company supports the Orangewood Children’s Foundation. Casey Journigan, President of Arcadia, has served as a board member since 1995 and continues to mentor young adults that have gone through the foster care system. In addition to monetary and product contributions, Arcadia/Encore and its employees, also participate in various fund-raising events throughout the year.
