Wedges, Wine & Whiskey is a huge hit for the Boys & Girls Club

FALLBROOK – The Boys & Girls Clubs of North County raised over $120,000 with their Wedges, Wine & Whiskey event that took place April 9-10.

This special two-day event included an Around the World in 18 Holes golf tournament that sold out within days of tickets going on sale. One-hundred-twenty golfers flooded the Golf Club of California to show their support for our local youth.

The Del Rey Avocado foursome, led by Donny Lucy came in first place at the event with a score of 55. Sam Logan's foursome took home the prize for best dressed with their authentic Scottish kilts.

The event also included a virtual Wine & Whiskey Experience that took place on Saturday, April 10.

Guests received tastings from Fallbrook Winery and tuned in to watch Euan Parker, the Head Winemaker for Fallbrook Winery expertly walk them through their three different wine tastings.

David Lizarraga from Henebery Spirits shared his passion for whiskey as he taught guests more about their three tastings, and all that the local distillery offers.

"Due to regulations surrounding the pandemic we were unable to host our annual gala this year," said Allison Barclay, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of North County. "That did not stop our committee from putting together a one-of-a-kind event, and from the community stepping up to support our youth. We want to thank our Presenting Sponsor Del Rey Avocado and the Lucy Families and all our other sponsors!"

As part of the Wedges, Wine & Whiskey event, the club also hosted an online auction with a variety of local items, trips, packages and more. Funds raised from the fundraiser support local youth by providing them with the programs and resources that are offered through Boys & Girls Clubs of North County.
