The Conine All-Star Golf Classic, now in its 26th year, raised $262,000 to underwrite expenses at the Conine Clubhouse at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood. The clubhouse is a hotel-like facility that provides free lodging to parents and siblings during a child’s hospital stay.
Since 1995, fundraising done at this tournament by former major league ballplayer Jeff and Cindy Conine has raised nearly $7 million to underwrite the facility’s operating expenses. To date, more than 12,000 families have stayed there to remain close to sick kids during critical times in their lives.
Celebrity attendees included: Pudge Rodriguez (pictured), Ki-Jana Carter, Tony Nathan, Gaby Sanchez, Bob Brudzinski, Luis Alicea, and many others.
