We’re taking a moment to look back at September’s Second Annual CASA Classic at Monarch Beach Golf Links in Dana Point—a day that brought the community together for an incredible cause.
138 golfers hit the scenic, ocean-view course and helped raise over $76,000 to support CASA of Orange County’s mission of providing mentorship and advocacy for foster youth. From Bloody Mary bars and breakfast burritos to challenges like “Beat the Pro” and hole-in-one prizes for a Harley-Davidson and TACORI bracelet, it was a day filled with fun, purpose, and impact.
It’s events like these that remind us of the power of community here in coastal Orange County.
