Thank you to Governor Newsom, the Senate, and the Assembly for including $103 Million in funding for crime victim services. We would not have this win without the hard work of survivors and advocates, as well as our champion, Assemblymember Eloise Gómez Reyes!

We would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all our incredible sponsors, golfers, vendors, donors, and staff for making our 40th annual Swing For Kids Charity Golf Tournament at Oak Creek on May 16th an outstanding success! Presented by Purus Wealth Management , we raised an impressive $195,000 with the help of 144 enthusiastic golfers who came together to support life-changing services in Orange County. Your generosity ensured that the Waymakers Swing for Kids Golf Tournament reached a SOLD OUT status, transforming it into a spectacular fusion of competition and compassion. From the moment participants stepped onto the greens, they weren't just players – they were Waymakers, embodying the spirit of positive change. Your support is invaluable to us and the communities we serve. Thank you for being part of this remarkable journey!
