10th Annual CCA Golf Invitational Raises $350,000

Portland, OR. PGA tour professionals Brian Henninger and Paul Goydos sat down for an interview with NBC Sports host Jordan Kent during the celebrity roundtable reception at the CCA Invitational at the Oregon Golf Club on August 12th. The 10th Annual CCA Invitational featured 27 PGA golf pros from Oregon and Southwest Washington, paired with amateur players. The event raised $350,000 to provide free-of-charge programs that leverage music, friendship, play and resources to create moments of joy for seriously ill children and their families. Over the past ten years, the CCA golf tournament has raised more than $1.3 million. The CCA Invitational tournament’s winning pro was Scott Leritz of Royal Oaks Country Club. The winning team was Tim Freeman and his players Rennie Muzii, William Carr and Brad Skreen (Photo credit Megan Henson.)
