For anyone interested in participating or sponsoring the golf tournament on May 24th at Crow Canyon Country Club there is still plenty of time to sign up!

Some things to look forward to are:

1. Fenton’s ice cream is sponsoring and is serving ice cream at a hole.

2. The Raiderets will be hanging out with us at dinner after the tournament.

3. Complimentary wine at dinner and the auction.

3. Many prizes for our silent auction and raffle including: an iPad, digital camera, television, and gift certificates.

If you are interested in participating in a day of fun to benefit East Contra Costa County Youth and Lend-A-Hand Foundation please email us at pegnimandivancichgolf@gmail.com or call 925-776-4500!

The Pegnim and Ivancich Foundation is a not-for-profit charity founded by Thomas M. Pegnim and Lisa E. Ivancich to provide a method to give back to the Eastern Contra Costa County community.

Though there are many well-developed and organized charities in Central Contra Costa County, there are very few in Eastern Contra Costa County despite the fact that it is the home to 300,000 people.  This is most likely because the community has grown so quickly that charitable resources have not had time to catch up.

The Pegnim and Ivancich Foundation will focus its attention on the needs of the teenage and preteen youth in the Pittsburgh, Antioch, and Brentwood area.  We hope to be able to support individual scholarship needs, extracurricular activities which are in danger of being eliminated, and provide individual support to high achieving scholars, artists, and athletes who lack the financial ability to meet their potential.

We are committed to providing all of the volunteer and administrative needs of the charity without any charge to the charity itself.  Therefore we can state that it is our intention to use 100% of the foundation’s funds in support of the Foundation’s purpose.

We are honored to work with the Lend A Hand Foundation of Oakland in putting on our first charitable golf tournament. One hundred percent of the net proceeds from the tournament will be divided between Lend A Hand Foundation and scholarships for the youth in East Contra Costa County.

Crow Canyon Country Club, a private Country Club in Danville, California, has provided us with the facility at a reduced rate.  We intend this to be a first-class golf tournament, with lunch and dinner provided, multiple prizes included, a raffle, two hole-in-one competitions for $10,000 each, as well as cash prizes and merchandise in the pro shop for the winners of the tournament.

The tournament will be a four man scramble.  Indexes will be factored into the scoring.  Mulligans will be sold.

Since this is our first tournament we do not know whether a “horse race” will receive sufficient support to allow it to be conducted at the end of a tournament.  In the event we have sufficient players sign up for the horse race, we will conduct the horse race at the conclusion of the tournament with pari-mutuel betting.

There will be door prizes, a hosted beverage cart and items up for a silent auction (depending on support).

We are hoping for the support of the workers compensation community in sponsoring holes, prizes, and items for a silent auction.
