“I am so excited about this year’s event. We knew it was going to be bigger than last year because we got a lot of support from other teams and drivers with their donations for the auction. It just kept growing from there,” Lofton said.
All proceeds from the event benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Imperial Valley, near Lofton’s hometown of Westmorland, California.
The tournament will take place at the Del Rio Country Club, with over 100 golfers entered and divided into teams for the Saturday morning event.
CollegeComplete.com, who sponsors Lofton’s Truck Series endeavors, is signed on as the tournament’s presenting sponsor. J.D. Heiskell & Co., Rogers and Rogers Toyota, and Eddie and Theresa Wiest are also presenting sponsors for the event.
Last season the Inaugural Justin Lofton Charity Golf Tournament raised over $40,000 for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Imperial Valley. This season, the event has grown, with Lofton set to participate in two separate meet and greet appearances the night before the tournament, including a visit to the Boys and Girls Club.
Currently, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Imperial Valley serve over 600 Imperial Valley youth, providing kids a safe, supervised, and affordable place to go every day after school. Nearly 200 kids are greeted daily by caring adult staff and participate in character-building, educational and recreational programs all while making friends and having fun. Concentrating on youth who need the most support, the Club provides programs in four key areas: health and fitness, education, the arts, and most importantly, in character development.
Through support of the Second Annual Justin Lofton Charity Golf Tournament, supporters are broadening the opportunities for children through tutoring programs, sports programs, arts and crafts, computer labs, and mentoring.
As the tournament kicks off on Saturday, Lofton will join his fellow golfers on the green before celebrating post tournament festivities at the Stockmen’s Club where the awards ceremony, dinner, benefit auction, and live concert will take place. Lofton’s long-time friend, Curb recording artist Tim Dugger, will provide the live entertainment.
Tickets for the post tournament event are still available via https://secureonlinegiving.com/events/site/index.asp?eventID=768.
