Nonprofit Golf Tourney Set to Tee Off

A Temecula based non-profit organization will be raising funds for children in need.

Temecula residents were invited to play the greens for a good cause.

The eighth-annual Wishes for Children Charity Golf Classic is slated to be held Friday at Temecula Creek Inn. The shotgun start is at 11 a.m.

Wishes for Children, an organization that is run mostly by volunteers, is putting on the event to benefit Rancho Damacitas, a group home for children aged 6-18 who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect.

Wishes for Children's goal is to grant wishes to terminally ill, neglected, abused and otherwise deserving children.

They also team up with other non-profit groups whose missions are also geared to support children in need, according to Kristi Reedy, a spokesperson for the event.
