2nd Annual Golf Outing 2021

Our 2nd annual golf outing took place on Monday, November 1, 2021, at the beautiful Catta
Verdera Country Club in Lincoln, CA. Despite having to delay the tournament one week due to
weather conditions, we had 136 golfers in attendance ready to golf FORE a great cause!

As luck would have it, it rained for most of the day but that did not seem to stop the fun. The
morning started with delicious breakfast burritos and Starbucks coffee donated by our
generous sponsors. We can’t forget about the best Bloody Mary’s in town thanks to one of our
board member’s family recipe.


The festivities continued down in the practice area where we had a putting contest and

displayed all the wonderful silent auction items and raffle prizes. We had over 20 silent auction

items on display, including a Disneyland package, Apple products, top of the line
wine/charcuterie baskets, speech therapy sessions, and so much more. Our highly sought after
raffle prizes included a TaylorMade SIM2 Driver and a “Beat L.A.” package which included a VIP
Suite plus 14 tickets to the Sacramento Kings versus L.A. Lakers game generously donated to us
by Sutter.

 

By 10:00 a.m., our golfers were off for a shotgun start. This year, we had 15 activities and hole
sponsors throughout the course. From the golf cannon at Hole #3 to the “Fastest Par 3” contest
at Hole #13 to learning more about our Eagle Sponsor Fallen Pollen’s products at Hole #11, all
of these fun activities contributed to the overall success and enjoyment of the day. A special
shout out to these sponsors and volunteers on the course who weathered the cold and rainy
weather! Also, can’t forget to mention our wonderful Generation G booth at Hole #18. There,
golfers learned more about the Generation G pledge, and each golfer took the pledge to Be
Generous, Be Accepting, and to Be Kind. This just goes to show how amazing our community
and supporters are!

 

Once the fun-filled round was over, we hosted an awards banquet in the gorgeous reception
room serving an Italian buffet. After months of planning this event, it was wonderful to see all
of the happy faces even despite the one week delay and weather conditions on the day of the
tournament. Several of our Sun City golfers who are loyal supporters of this event commented
that the tournament is “top notch.” A few other golfers stated this was “the best and most
organized tournament” they had ever played in.

Next year we plan to host our 3rd annual golf outing again at Catta Verdera on October 24,
2022, so mark your calendars! We have sold out the past two years and we hope to do it again
for the third year in a row. Lastly, thank you to all of our golfers and generous sponsors. Being
that the golf tournament is our biggest fundraiser of the year, your support is key to the
ongoing success of GiGi’s Playhouse Sacramento, so a heartfelt thank you for your kindness and
continued generosity.
