Event Description
Join friends and colleagues at this annual charity golf tournament benefitting Ad Relief of Greater Los Angeles (formerly the Advertising Industry Emergency Fund), along with other programs of thinkLA.
For the past 17 years, this tournament has been attended by some of the most prestigious organizations in the Southern California advertising industry and has been attended by a virtual Who’s Who of advertising leaders. The 200 participants include executives from TBWA\Chiat\Day, Deutsch, Universal McCann, Yahoo!, ESPN, Disney, KABC, CNN Turner, Facebook, KTLA, AOL/Huffington Post to name a few.
Since 1972, Ad Relief has granted over $2 million in emergency money to individuals in the Southern California advertising and promotions community, including fire, earthquake and landslide victims. Those with life-threatening illnesses have been helped with medical bills and other expenses. When your colleagues have no other means of support, Ad Relief provides funds to get them back on track.
