Oakdale Chamber's 11th Annual Golf Tournament Honors First Responders and Military Personnel

On September 9th, we held our 11th Annual Golf Tournament, an event dedicated to honoring our first responders and military personnel. This year’s tournament featured over 120 players, which included local heroes from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and members of local fire and police departments, who joined us on the course for a day of camaraderie and celebration.

Military Representation:

Army: 7 participants
Navy: 2 participants
Air Force: 3 participants
Marine Corps: 1 participant

First Responders Representation:

Firefighters: 14 participants
Law Enforcement (Sheriff, Police, CHP): 9 participants

The event not only provided a great day of golf but also a meaningful opportunity to recognize and thank these individuals for their service to our country and community. Special thanks go out to Helius LLC for adding excitement to the day with the incredible helicopter ball drop—an amazing addition that thrilled all the participants.

We also want to extend our gratitude to the players for braving the heat and making this event such a success, as well as to our hole vendors for keeping the fun going and ensuring everyone stayed hydrated. Your participation made a huge difference!

A special shout out to our volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. An extra-special thank you goes to Joanna Sanders for her dedication and countless hours that made this event run smoothly and successfully.

Lastly, we'd like to take a moment to thank our sponsors for their generosity and support!
