NFL Alumni Northern California Chapter

29th Annual Golf Tournament
Scores Big Hit

The NFL Alumni Northern California Chapter held their 29th Annual Charity Golf Classic on Monday 21, 2010, the historic Olympic Club in San Francisco. Over 45 alumni captains participated in the day that raised funds for the chapter’s Caring for Kids Program.

The tournament honored two great players- Ted Hendricks from the Raiders and Roger Craig form the 49ers. Each former player was given a donation to support his favorite youth program.

The tournament featured a full day of golf at the site of the 2012 U.S. Open. After play was finished, the participants enjoyed a cocktail reception, silent auction, and then dinner and a live auction.

Chairman Gordy Soltau announced at the dinner that he would step down as Chairman after 29 years. Gordy’s absolute and total dedication to the NFL Alumni, and his leadership in the role as Chairman, have been the foundation for the success of this event over the past three decades. Thank you Gordy and we love and appreciate you!
