Play golf and support your local SCV Search & Rescue Team this coming Monday, Sept. 21.

TPC Valencia will host the 9th Annual Sheriff’s Foundation-Search and Rescue Golf Tournament. The golf tournament is held yearly as a fundraiser for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station Search and Rescue Team.

This year’s tournament honors Deputy Randy Hamson, who died after a long and hard fought battle to injuries he sustained after being struck by a car on Saturday, Aug. 16, 2004. In honor of Deputy Randy Hamson, there is a pledge of a $2,000 Foundation Scholarship to be awarded to four deserving local students.

The Santa Clarita Valley Search and Rescue Team is a volunteer group formed to assist the Sheriff’s Department in search and rescue operations or any other governmental agency upon request. The Search and Rescue team responds 24 hours a day, seven days a week to calls involving vehicles over the side, earthquakes, lost hikers, power outages, missing persons, along with rescuing people or recovering evidence in challenging terrain.

Although the search and rescue team gets some support from the County of Los Angeles, they must rely on fundraising efforts in order to buy specialized equipment and training necessary to continue to maintain the highest level of service to our community.

The golf tournament will feature a four-person scramble format in which each player must contribute a minimum of three drives to your team’s score. We hope to see you there.
