On Tuesday, May 14, 2024, Project Access presented its 14th annual charity golf tournament at the scenic Oak Creek Golf Club in renowned Irvine, California. Over 132 participants, representing 36 sponsors from various sectors such as real estate, banking, construction, and family foundations, raised over $314,000 for Project Access Resource Centers nationwide.

In addition to some duffer antics and good fun on the links, along with some occasional serious play and engaging on-course activities, the tournament also boasted a live auction with an array of incredible offerings such as a Cabo San Lucas Golf Vacation, a winner’s Choice Getaway for four at any U.S. Marriot or Hyatt Vacation Club location, a four-piece Electrolux Kitchen package and a Jackson Hole, Wyoming, ski excursion

Returning sponsor Capital One demonstrates their support for Project Access’ key initiatives: Community Building, Economic Stability, Education for Youth and Families, and Health and Wellness.

First-time sponsor Servpro is excited for a round of golf while supporting Project Access.

“Proceeds from our entire event will benefit Project Access in strengthening our 103 communities across the nation, driving positive change, and providing hope for at-risk families and seniors in the 18 US states where we have resource centers,” states Kristin Byrnes, CEO and President of Project Access. “Our incredible day of charitable camaraderie and fundraising would not have been made possible without the generous support and contributions of our incredible 36 sponsors”:
