The 3rd annual Fund the Kids tournament at Gilroy Golf Course on September 30th was a great success! 72 golfers, and a dozen volunteers showed up, despite the morning rain scare, to honor Jesus Luna.
Jesus Luna will be retiring in the near future after working 37 years for Jacobs (Presenting Sponsor) at the South County Regional Wastewater Authority (SCRWA). Jesus is an avid golfer and would like to spend some of his retirement time teaching golf skills to the youth in our community. Jacobs is the contract Operator for the SCRWA plant in Gilroy. Community involvement is an extension of the Jacobs’ and the SCRWA culture. All this is the reason Jacobs and Jesus decided to make First Tee – Silicon Valley the beneficiary of the tournament.
First Tee – Silicon Valley Parents and Participants
From the beginning of the day, First Tee – Silicon Valley was well represented with FTSV kids and parents volunteering their time to help check in golfers, stuff goodie bags, and measure putts. The day concluded with a Taco Bar lunch and a speech from FTSV participant Joshua Jang, hot off his play in the 2023 PURE Insurance Championship.
Thank you Sponsors!
First Tee – Silicon Valley would like to thank Jacobs – SCRWA, Carollo Engineers and all the contributing sponsors: Jess Ranch Trucking, Tesco Controls, Legion LLC, Allied Weed Control, JEGO Systems and Stantec. Together with all other sponsors and participating foursomes, they raised $10K for First Tee – Silicon Valley’s financial aid program.
