The two-day event featured a full flight of 144 golfers, including tremendous support from the CV Firebirds’ coaching staff and almost the complete roster of CV Firebird players. Added this year to the festivities was the golf tournament’s pairing dinner, with more than 200 guests in attendance, making this highly anticipated fundraising event a huge success.

“Our third annual Firebirds Golf Invitational and pairings dinner exceeded all expectations,” said Andrew Mason, senior director, community relations, Coachella Valley Firebirds. “I think this speaks to the work we do in our community daily and the love and passion our fans have for the team. We are thrilled with the success of this third annual Firebirds Invitational Golf Tournament. The money raised is key to the One Valley Foundation’s goal of leaving a lasting positive impact on our valley. We were able to raise $139,000, with every penny staying in our valley to help this community’s local nonprofits.”

One Valley Foundation serves as the philanthropic arm of the CV Firebirds’ commitment to our community. Its mission is to ensure an inclusive community for fans united through a shared passion for sports. The foundation aims to create greater opportunity and impact across the Coachella Valley through a variety of programs and legacy events, such as this annual golf tournament, focused on three core pillars of education, community and access to hockey.
