CARSON, CA. (Friday, August 26, 2011) –Chivas USA’s foundation, Fundación Chivas de Corazon USA will host its 5th Annual Charity Golf Tournament next Monday, August 29th at the Industry Hills Golf Course Pacific Palms Resort.  Part of the proceeds raised at the event will benefit club community partner, PADRES Contra El Cancer, the non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for Latino children with cancer and their families.
 
This will be the first time that Chivas USA’s Fundacion Chivas de Corazon USA designates part of the proceeds from its annual golf tournament to a specific cause, an effort spearheaded by the team’s leadership aimed at supporting hundreds of local children and families affected by the devastating disease.
 
The entire Chivas USA team, coaching staff, club, and PADRES executives will be out on the green that day.  The event will also host a number of special PADRES Ambassador celebrity guests including Yancey Arias (actor), Oscar Cartaya, (musician) and Victor Razuk (actor).
 
To generate awareness for pediatric cancer amongst its fans and supporters, Chivas USA will continue its support of PADRES on September 10 when the club will host nearly two-hundred children and families at a Chivas USA HEART Soccer Camp.  Team alum Jimmy Conrad and Super Estrella 107.1 radio host and PADRES Ambassador Keven Ramirez will take part in meet & greet and game day activities with participants. Details on additional activities for that day will be released early next month.
