What a Day — Fore the Kids Was a Huge Success!
A massive THANK YOU to everyone who joined us at Pleasanton Golf Center for our inaugural First Tee Tri-Valley “Fore the Kids” Golf Event! From early-morning tee-offs to the final Water Tower Shootout, the day was filled with sunshine, smiles, and community spirit.
The Golf
The competition was friendly but fierce — with plenty of strategy and great shots all around!
- 1st Place: Team Verkada #1 (Score 21)
- 2nd Place: Pastas Trattoria (after a 3-way tie at 22)
- 3rd Place: PNC Bank #1
- 4th Place: Dryden Construction
Closest-to-the-Pin Winners:
- Hole #2 – AM: Kelly French (6 ft) | PM: Nicole Iamranond (7’8”)
- Hole #8 – AM: Derrick Perez (2’5”) | PM: Kathy Kennedy (10’6”)
The Party
The day kicked off with complimentary Bloody Marys and continued with “refreshments” on every other hole — special shoutout to Pastas Trattoria for the fan-favorite bar on Hole #6!
Guests enjoyed Jose’s famous ribs, brisket & chicken for lunch while The Dream Tellers kept the vibe alive with over six hours of live music. 
The Big Win
Together, we not only hit the greens — we surpassed our $25,000 matching-grant goal during the Fund-a-Need call!
