Golf Classic 2025
Golf Classic 2025

We cordially invite you to be a part of the 2nd Annual Golf Classic at the prestigious Sherwood Country Club. This event promises a day of camaraderie, competition, and community, all in support of a cause that transforms lives.

Vista Del Mar has been a beacon of hope for children and families in need for over a century, providing essential mental health services, education, and support for those facing immense hardship. This year's golf event takes on even greater significance as we rally behind families affected by the devastating Palisades and Eaton Fires. Many of these families have lost their homes, livelihoods, and stability, and they rely on Vista Del Mar's programs to rebuild their lives. Through therapy, counseling, educational support, and basic resources, Vista helps these families regain their footing and find hope for the future.

Now, we ask you to stand with us by joining us for this special event - or making a generous contribution - and be a champion for those who need us most.

We look forward to seeing you on the greens for a day of purpose and play!

With deepest gratitude,
Event Co Chairs: Scott Boxenbaum, Arthur Jacobson, Taylor Megdal, Dan Palmer, James Perry, Phil Stein
