Desert Arc turned in a winning scorecard at this year’s Ninth Annual Golf Classic and Dinner as a record number of 96 golfers and over 185 dinner guests turned out to participate at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino’s Eagle Falls Golf Course in Indio.
The event featured a Best Ball Format, commencing with a barbecue lunch, followed by a Shotgun Start, and concluding with a sumptuous buffet dinner along with silent and live auctions.
“Wow! What a great day,” said Nancy Singer, event chair. “It was a pleasure to work with our dedicated staff on what was a huge success.”
Emcee Brooke Beare and honorary chair Jay Chesterton led the highly-competitive live auction, featuring an electric bike donated by Hot Purple Energy, a pair of 14-karat yellow gold diamond earrings donated by El Paseo Jewelers, a Pebble Beach Getaway Package, and two VIP passes to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
