The Pacific Shores cocktail lounge in Ocean Beach will host its fifth annual Ocean Beach Charity Golf Tournament at Riverwalk Golf Club on Friday, Aug. 24 to benefit San Diego Hospice. The tournament, which begins at 7 a.m. with registration and a shotgun start at 8 a.m., is an opportunity to benefit to San Diego Hospice and provide end-of-life care and bereavement support to many San Diegans. The Pacific Shores Charity Golf Tournament began in 2007 as a small group of friends interested in honoring a beloved bartender, Dave Contreras, from the Pacific Shores cocktail lounge. The charity was a natural fit, as Contreras had used San Diego Hospice in his last days. As the group of friends canvassed the Ocean Beach community for supporters, it became apparent that San Diego Hospice touched the lives of many in the community. Support for the golf tournament grew quickly in the early days, as people wanted to give back to the organization that had helped them. “As our list of supporters and tournament participants has grown, so has the list of names on our memory board. This event is a great way for our local community to support one another in their grieving while raising funds for a greater cause,” said Rita Coronado, golf tournament co-coordinator. Last year’s tournament raised more than $5,000 for San Diego Hospice. The entry cost is $120 per player, a portion of which is tax deductible. Riverwalk Golf Club is located at 1150 Fashion Valley Road. For more information or to register, call (619) 459-0477, or visit pacshoresob.com/golf/.
