There is also no known cure.
Gavin’s Golf Classic will take place at El Prado Golf Course (6555 Pine Ave. Chino, CA) on September 10, 2010. Shotgun start at 12:30pm, registration opens at 11am. Foursome and individual golfers are welcome, $125 per golfer, which includes dinner and raffle. There will be a “blind putting contest”, as well as a “hole in one contest”, at a designated hole. The winner of the hole in one contest will receive a brand new Chevy Camaro, courtesy of Mark Christopher Chevrolet.
Three different level packages are available for our sponsors, which include various opportunities for company advertising. Raffle items for the dinner portion of the event are needed. Raffle tickets will be sold the day of the event. Dinner tickets are also available for non-golfers.
