ORANGE, Calif., June 21, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canyon Acres Children and Family Services, a Southern California charity organization committed to providing homes, care, treatment and supportive services for abused, neglected and emotionally troubled children and their families, today announced the annual Tim Salmon Golf Classic (TSGC) will take place on Monday, July 19, 2010 at the Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club. The event features a full day of golf, great food and fabulous auction items, including watching an Angels game with Tim Salmon, an Ultimate Disney Culinary Tour and many other surprises. Proceeds will benefit Canyon Acres and other children's charities.
TSGC represents former Angel player Tim Salmon and his wife Marci's ongoing commitment of time and resources to help Southern California's children in need. Now in its 12th year and especially after the Angels' 2002 World Series win, the tournament is one of Canyon Acres' most important fundraisers. Proceeds from the event support the agency's renowned, cutting-edge programs -- such as Creating Family Connections, which searches for and engages long-lost family members for children who otherwise have none; and Wraparound, which literally wraps at-risk families with teams of support and services.
"The Tim Salmon Golf Classic showcases the best of what luminaries like Tim and Marci Salmon can do to help break the multi-generational cycles of abuse that plague so many children and families in Southern California and beyond," said Clete Menke, President of Canyon Acres. "One of the benefits of Canyon Acres' 30-year history is sustained recognition from people who join us in our efforts to give every child love for today and hope for the future. We are thus incredibly grateful to the Salmons and to the many TSGC participants who show their dedication every year."
