Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia will join business and community leaders and local golfers in a day of golf and philanthropy when he hosts the 9th Annual Long Beach Mayor’s Trophy Charity Golf Tournament on Thursday, Aug. 27 at Skylinks Golf Course.
Leading a group of Long Beach-area businesses and individuals confirmed to sponsor the event, Advanced Cleanup Technologies, Inc. (ACTI)— a firm specializing in environmental-emergency response, hazardous-waste management, industrial cleaning, waste minimization, confined-space entry, transportation services and air pollution control technology has lent its support as Title Sponsor. Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe will serve as the event’s emcee, as well.
This year, 100 percent of the net proceeds will benefit the Long Beach Century Club, a nonprofit organization that supports amateur and youth athletics— including the Special Olympics and the athletic programs at California State University Long Beach, Long Beach City College and after-school sports programs in the Long Beach Unified School District and provides educational scholarships for Long Beach high school scholar-athletes, according to sponsors.
“ACTI is proud to give back to the Long Beach community through our Title Sponsorship of the Mayor’s Trophy,” said Ruben Garcia, ACTI president. “Providing young people with healthy recreational alternatives and exposing them to the many positive life skills learned through sports are critical in helping them prepare for future success— and we are happy to support the Long Beach Century Club in its mission to do just that.”
