A fundraising golf tournament featuring former USC football players raised more than $75,000 for an organization that works to prevent child abuse in Riverside County.
Olive Crest’s annual Golf Invitational in Palm Desert drew more than 100 guests Monday, Feb. 7, a news release states. Ex-USC football player and Olive Crest trustee Darnell Bing was chair of the fundraiser and joined by many former USC football teammates.
Event proceeds will help expand services, Tracy Fitzsimmons, executive director of Olive Crest Inland and Desert Communities, said in the release.
“We have an obligation to extend services wherever needed, and to ensure safe and loving homes for every single child,” she said in the release. “That’s both our responsibility — and a moral obligation.”
