The National Multiple Sclerosis Society in San Diego will present its 20th annual MS Golf Invitational, a fundraising golf tournament, on Monday, May 5, at La Jolla Country Club.
The tournament, open to the public and limited to a field of 120 golfers, is sponsored by Torrey Pines Bank. Honorary tournament chairman is Jerry Sanders, president/CEO of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce.
The donation to play is $750 per player or $3,000 a foursome. The price includes tee prizes, lunch, beverages on the course, contests, a hosted reception and an awards gourmet dinner. Silent and live auctions are also planned. Registration will begin at 10 a.m., lunch will begin at 11 a.m. and the shotgun start begins at noon. Cost to attend the dinner only, which will begin at 5 p.m., is $100 per person. The tournament is expected to raise more than $140,000 in donations. In 2013, 115 golfers raised more than $130,000.
Proceeds will benefit multiple sclerosis research and programs and services for people with multiple sclerosis, a disease of the central nervous system that interrupts the flow of information between the brain and body.
