KRTY.com (San Jose Country Station*) held its 2nd Annual Justin Moore Charity Golf Tournament on September 20th at Cinnabar Hills Golf Club benefitting First Tee – Silicon Valley and awarded our program a $24,000 donation.
The event sponsored by DGDG featured over 120 golfers including country star Justin Moore and Matt Stell, KRTY personalities Gary Scott Thomas and Nate Deaton, and local Sharks broadcast veteran Randy Hahn. The day was full of fun and generosity! The dinner kicked off with a 4-song acoustic performance by Justin Moore followed by raffle drawings, live auction bidding, and golf awards and wrapped up with a 4-song acoustic performance by Matt Stell.
Nate Deaton, KRTY’s General Manager, said “This is what our local legendary station does best – connecting celebrities to a community benefit! When Justin asked me two years ago to put together a charity event for the local community, I knew the First Tee had to be a part of it. I have seen firsthand from coaching the impact this non-profit has on kids teaching them golf and life skills. We are looking forward to next year’s event in 2023!”
FTSV is very appreciative to have Nate Deaton as a longtime supporter since our inception in 2005. As someone who started playing golf at age 5, he has been a great advocate for our mission of empowering kids and teens through the game of golf because it was an integral part of his personal development.
