We would like to invite you to participate in PUENTE Learning Center’s Twelfth Annual Golf Tournament, to be held Monday, October 16, 2017, at the first-class Hacienda Golf Club in La Habra Heights. Sponsorship opportunities available for this exclusive golf event are available through the brochure below.

This is the 13th year that business and political leaders in the City of Los Angeles and the State of California will gather to raise funds for PUENTE Learning Center. The day’s activities will begin with a silent auction, raffle, and continental breakfast, tee off at a reasonable hour, and conclude with a cocktail reception. All players will receive a gift bag, and have the opportunity to participate in a number of contests for prizes and awards.

This event provides exceptional networking, marketing, advertising, and promotional benefits, and offers a wonderful opportunity to spend a day with important clients, associates, and friends while raising critical funds. Each of the last nine tournaments has been a great success, netting over $100,000 apiece to support the much-needed programs for children, youth, and adults offered at PUENTE.
