Revamped and Refined: A Heartwarming Partnership for a Great Cause
Annual Golf Tournament at Cache Creek Casino Resort raises $125,000 for two charities in California
Step foot in the picturesque Cache Creek Casino Resort in Brooks, California, and witness the beautiful union between business and benevolence. Recently, they teamed up with the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation to host their annual charity golf tournament at the Yocha Dehe Golf Club.
On May 15, 2025, the third edition of this tournament rolled into action, raising a staggering $125,000. Half of the proceeds, a substantial $62,500, was donated to the First Tee of Greater Sacramento – an organization focused on developing life skills and character in young people through the magical game of golf. The remaining half was handed over to the Forgotten Soldier Program, an initiative dedicated to supporting veterans and first responders who've bravely served our nation.
This charitable event was more than just a game; it was a testament to the power of community support. The tournament not only advanced First Tee's mission but also bolstered the Forgotten Soldier Program's efforts to provide aid to those who selflessly sacrificed for our safety.
In a statement, Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation Tribal Chairman Anthony Roberts emphasized the importance of youth development and the impact of mentorship, mentioning his tribe's delight to aid these budding athletes as they grow in confidence, leadership, and integrity.
Cache Creek Casino Resort's General Manager and Chief Operating Officer, Kari Stout-Smith, shared their pride in backing the Forgotten Soldier program and its mission to support our heroes. Expressing gratitude for the partnership, Smith highlighted the inspiring unity amongst the participants, calling it a poignant reminder of the community's strength.
Army veteran Dave Perry, board member of the Forgotten Soldier Program, praised the unwavering support of the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, acknowledging the significant impact their generosity had on the lives of hundreds of veterans and first responders battling invisible wounds of trauma.
First Tee CEO Angie Dixon expressed her organization's deep appreciation for the tournament's support, which will help offer life-changing opportunities to over 58,000 young people in the region each year through their character development programs.
As we look towards the future, we anticipate that this heartwarming collaboration will continue, with the fourth annual charity golf tournament set to take place in May 2026. Stay tuned for updates on the beneficiaries and schedule for this exceptional event!
