SAN DIEGO, Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Nationally recognized nonprofit, Fresh Start Surgical Gifts is teeing up for its 32nd Annual San Diego Celebrity Golf Classic, celebrating another year of transforming lives. The event will take place on March 10th and 11th at the prestigious La Valle Coastal Club in Rancho Santa Fe, previously named Morgan Run Club & Resort. Hosted by the esteemed Alfonso Ribeiro, this premier charity event is set to unite celebrities, philanthropists and golf enthusiasts in support of Fresh Start Surgical Gifts.
This is one of the nonprofit’s most significant fundraising events, and all funds raised go toward its mission of transforming the lives of many children and their families across the country. In 2023, the event in San Diego raised a record-breaking $300,000, with each Golf Classic selling out repeatedly over the past 14 years. The star-studded, two-day event will be filled with celebrity golf, games, delicious food and drinks and a live & silent auction. Every foursome, no matter what level of sponsorship, plays with a celebrity.

“We are deeply grateful for the continued support of the San Diego community and beyond,” says Shari Brasher, CEO of Fresh Start Surgical Gifts. “The funds raised from this event will directly impact the lives of children and families in need, providing them with hope and a brighter future.”
