Benevilla raised more than $67,000 during their 40th anniversary golf tournament fundraiser Nov. 13, held at the Wigwam Golf Course.

More than 100 golfers attended the four-person scramble and played in the numerous tournament player activities, including top score prizes, a hole-in-one contest with a chance to split a $10,000 cash prize with Benevilla, closest to the pin contests and raffles.

Proceeds from this event support the many programs Benevilla, a West Valley nonprofit organization, provides, including extensive support services for older adults, adults with disabilities, children and the families who care for them since 1981. This year, Benevilla is celebrating 40 years of serving others through life enriching programs and services, day programs for adults with dementia and other disabilities, free grocery shopping services, transportation to medical appointments, caregiver support groups, and many other vital community services.

“This was a fun and amazing event and Benevilla is so thankful to all of the players, volunteers and sponsors making it so successful.” said Joanne Thomson, Benevilla President and CEO. “Our tournament and the work it supports in the community is only made possible through the generous support of local supporters and sponsors, including Presenting Sponsor, Arrowhead Lexus.

Started by the community and for the community in 1981, Benevilla is a not-for-profit family services agency dedicated to enriching the lives of West Valley residents by providing care services for older adults, adults with disabilities, children and families.
