“Each year we raise money and awareness for the Champion Kids Camp organization, whose mission to help traumatized children get past what they may never get over,” said Dr. Jimmy Disch, CKC Golf Tournament Chairman. “And each year our tournament gets bigger and better. This year’s tournament will certainly not disappoint.” He continued

Player sign-in at 10:30 a.m., and the Shotgun-Start is at 12:00 high-noon with box lunches provided by Dunn’s Bayou Boiler & Catering. Dinner is served at 5:00 p.m. by Lupe Tortilla. And the tournament is polished off with live music, live auction, and an even livelier awards ceremony.

Bill Nash, The CEO of Champions Kids Camp, said, “We have been sponsoring 200+ young children to summer camp for the past 19 years, and it is through the greatness of people like Dr. Jimmy Disch, Jose Cruz, Todd Kalas, Art Howe, Larry Dierker, and Dan Pastorini helping us refill our tanks year after year, keeps our mission alive.”

Champions Kids Camp brings children who have suffered a traumatic event like accident or illness, or the loss of a parent or sibling, to summer camp so they can have fun. Please visit their webpage, www.championskidscamp.org

In November Champions Kids Camp hosts an early Christmas party so all the kids can meet Santa Claus and receive at least one gift for the year. For some children, this is the only Christmas they will have for the year.

For the past five years, Bill Nash, and his wife Kim, has been awarding college scholarships to “campers” who have grown up, and through, the camp organization and are now young adults moving onto college.
