About Us
Since its inception in 2002, The Schulz Celebrity Golf Classic has raised an impressive $12 million for charities. Our annual event has become synonymous with philanthropy, bringing together the beauty of California's wine country, the allure of a distinctive golf course, the commitment of local community, and the infectious enthusiasm of sports and entertainment celebrities. Together, we have created a powerful platform for making a positive impact on the lives of children in Sonoma County.
