2012 PAL Bowl

This event is our main fundraiser of the year and our goal for 2012 is to beat our total from last year; but we can’t do it without YOUR generous support.

The day promises to be a fun filled day of golf, prizes, great food (lunch will be provided by Scooter’s BBQ), and camaraderie.  The best part is all money raised stays local and helps support our goal of providing our youth with positive after school activities to counteract the risk factors often present in their daily lives.

Players will have an opportunity to win cars, awards, and cash prizes ranging from $500 to over $250,000, through various Hole In One, putting contest, and other specialty holes.

New this year ….. In addition to having our usual assortment of exciting Raffle and Silent Auction items we will also be holding a separate Raffle for an iPad2 and a LG 50” Flatscreen TV. Tickets are $10 each, or 3 for $20. The winner will be announced at the tournament and no, you need not be present to win. Tickets can be purchased at the tournament or in advance by calling 805.339.4443.

Now here’s how you can help us continue to make a difference in the lives of our local youth…..

• Submit a completed entry form (link to the form is below) to play in the Tournament.  

• Become a sponsor (link to sponsorship information is below).  There are ample sponsorship opportunities available, even for as little as $150. This is a great way to raise the visibility of your business in our community.

• Donate a raffle or prize item to be presented at the Tournament’s Awards Ceremony.  Any items or gift certificates you can contribute will be greatly appreciated.

We want to thank all of you in advance for your support. If you have any questions about the golf tournament or the PAL program, please call 805.339.4443. 

2012 PAL Golf Entry & Sponsorship Form

2012 PAL Golf Tournament

Ten year old Corey Castro was diagnosed with Gorham’s Disease (an extremely rare bone disease) in September 2008. This disease has affected his hip, pelvis, spine and ribs but not his courageous and generous spirit.  Over the last couple years Corey, and his sister Paige, collected toys for the VCMC Treatment Center with great success, raising more than $5,000 in toys and monetary donations.  Our goal again this year is to provide each patient and their siblings with gifts so as to help brighten their holidays.  Toys and gifts should be between $10 to $20 and if you would like to make a donation please contact Dan Castro at 805.377.8007 or via e-mail at dannycast@aol.com.    Thank you in advance for your help and generosity. 

The following flyer, and links to previois articles, provides additional information on the Toy Drive, Cory, and his disease.
