Golf and a Fiesta to Benefit Needy Children in Ensenada
'Vino-Tourism' by Steve Dryden
The Third Annual Golf4Niņos charity event will take place on Saturday, June
12, 2010 at the Baja Country Club of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, which is located but a few miles south of Ensenada
in Francisco I. Madero Canyon (inland a short distance towards the San Carlos area). Don’t miss a golden opportunity
to enjoy a festive day in a beautiful setting to benefit Agua Viva Guarderia, a children's shelter, daycare center and orphanage
located in the rural farming area.
For
those who don’t play golf but would like to contribute, you’re invited to attend the fiesta, auction and raffles.
The live auction will include great vacation packages with raffles for lots of fun gifts, wine packages and more. This
fiesta begins immediately after the golf tournament, at approximately 1:00 p.m., and is located on the northeast end of the
golf course. The catered taco feast, live music, auction, raffles, beverages, wine, sponsor displays and fun for non-golfers
makes all of this a benefit well worth supporting.
The
golf event begins with coffee, pastries, orientation and registration at 8:00 a.m., followed by a shotgun start at 9:00 a.m.
Four men scrambles, hole-in-one, longest drive, closest to the pin, and putting contests will enhance the excitement of the
event.
Preregistration
is required with a fee of $75 per golfer, and the deadline for registration is June 4. Easy and simple registration
payments or donations can be made on the registration page by using Paypal or a credit card. For registration or sponsorship
