The 28th Annual Warrior Athletics Golf Classic will take place next Friday at the Los Verdes Golf Course in Rancho Palos Verdes.

The event is a fundraiser hosted by El Camino with the goal of hopefully raising $25,000, EC Director of Athletics Randy Totorp said.

“It’s a way for us to stay connected with alumni and the community, staff, and colleagues, but it’s also a fundraiser for our athletic team programs,” Totorp said.

As far as how the fundraiser would benefit the teams and athletic department, Totorp said that the teams may want to go do a special tournament that is not in its budget.

“Our teams may need a special training piece of equipment, something that they need support with,” Totorp said.

The funds will serve multiple needs within the department that the current budget doesn’t cover, Totorp said.

“We have a triple A program called ‘Athletic Academic Achievement’ that’s within the LRC (Learning Resources Center) and sometimes we need to help support that program.”

The tournament is a four person scramble and begins at 1 p.m. next Friday with an award dinner following the event according to EC athletics.
