ANNUAL CHUMASH CHARITY GOLF CLASSIC

TO BENEFIT THREE LOCAL NONPROFITS

The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians has announced that its upcoming 2023 Chumash Charity Golf Classic will raise funds for three local nonprofits that are dedicated to the health of the community.

Proceeds from the three-day golf tournament, which will be held September 19-21 at the Alisal Golf Course in Solvang, will go to the Alzheimer’s Association California Central Coast Chapter, Sansum Diabetes Research Institute in Santa Barbara and Savie Health in Lompoc.

“Our tribe is proud to support these three nonprofits that provide vital health care services and support for community members in need,” said Kenneth Kahn, Tribal Chairman for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. “These groups help care for thousands of Central Coast residents, and our tribe is honored to be able to assist them with the funds we will raise during our annual Chumash Charity Golf Classic.”

Since its inaugural event in 2005, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians’ annual golf tournament has raised nearly $1.9 million for local charities and nonprofits. Past beneficiaries have included Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Santa Barbara County, Lompoc Family YMCA, Unity Shoppe, Planned Parenthood, Good Samaritan Shelter, local schools, local museums and more.

The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians has donated more than $25 million to hundreds of groups, organizations and schools in the community and across the nation as part of the tribe’s long-standing tradition of giving.
