This year’s Desert Financial Foundation Charity Golf Tournament hauled in $680,000 for Phoenix Children’s Hospital’s 1 Darn Cool School. Held in March at Talking Stick Golf Club, 190 golfers made up 38 teams, each paired with a professional golfer, playing a pro-am scramble on the O’Odham Course in Scottsdale. Since its inception in 1999, the tournament has raised nearly $8 million to support educational programs for hospitalized children.
“We’re grateful for all of the teams and professional players who participated in this year’s tournament to help raise funds for Phoenix Children’s 1 Darn Cool School,” said Ron Amstutz, tournament director and executive vice president of Desert Financial Credit Union. “While the tournament is a great day on the course, its real impact is in the difference it makes for children receiving care at Phoenix Children’s.”
