Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation to Host Second Annual Charity Golf Tournament Benefiting Foster Youth

Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation (AFFCF) is inviting Arizona’s golf community to tee up for a cause at its Second Annual Friends of Foster Children Charity Golf Tournament on Monday, Sept. 14, at The Club at Prescott Lakes in Prescott. The event will bring together golfers from across the state to raise critical funds supporting children and youth in Arizona’s foster care system. Located at 311 E. Smoke Tree Lane, the event will bring together golfers from across the state for a day of friendly competition while raising critical funds to support children and youth in Arizona’s foster care system.

“Every child deserves the chance to dream big and have the support to reach their full potential,” said Amber Cordoba, executive director of Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation. “This tournament is about creating opportunities that can change the course of a young person’s life. We’re grateful to everyone who chooses to stand alongside Arizona’s foster youth by participating, sponsoring or donating.”

Registration, breakfast and the driving range open at 7 a.m., followed by a 9 a.m. shotgun start. The day concludes with a luncheon and awards ceremony at 2 p.m. Participants can register individually for $200 or as a foursome for $700, with registration including breakfast, lunch and a swag bag. Raffle tickets will also be available for purchase during the event.

“This tournament is an opportunity for our community to come together and make a real difference for Arizona’s foster youth,” said Jon Birdt, event co-chair. “Whether someone is golfing, sponsoring or donating, every contribution helps create opportunities that can have a lasting impact on a child’s future.”

AFFCF continues to welcome sponsors interested in supporting Arizona’s foster youth through the tournament. The event has already received support from organizations and community partners including the Margaret T. Morris Foundation, Pahnke Wealth Management Group of Raymond James, VDigital, Jon and JB Birdt, AI Code Rally and Terie R., with additional sponsorship opportunities still available.
