32nd Annual Classy Golf Classic “Golf of Ages”
May 23, 2025 | Coronado, CA
The 32nd Annual Classy Golf Classic was held on Friday, May 23rd at the historic Coronado Golf Course in San Diego!
The theme was “Golf of Ages,” and participants outfitted their teams in the attire of their favorite era. Golf “purists” pulled out the heavy wool pants and tweed jackets. Those who idolize Bobby Jones, slipped into some nifty plus fours and sharp ties. And 70’s lovers were the grooviest of all! It was an incredible day of golf, food and frivolity, all in support of Cancer for College.
Thank you to our Classy partners!

Cherry Hawk Day at the Races
August 22, 2024 | Del Mar, CA
We had an incredible time at the 25th Annual Cherry Hawk event, graciously hosted by the Richardson family. Guests enjoyed delicious food, classic beverages, and the thrill of live horse racing. The highlight of the afternoon was hearing from our inspiring 2024 Cherry Hawk Scholars, Jacob Fagundes and Molly Streicher. Both cancer survivors, Jacob and Molly accepted their $10,000 scholarships with plans to merge their love of sports with their dedication to cancer advocacy.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and helped make this event a cherished tradition for 25 years. Special appreciation goes to the Richardson siblings—Heather Alexander, Greg Richardson, Brian Richardson, and Holly Gardner—for their unwavering commitment to both their father’s legacy and our cause.
