What is Golf & Guitars?
Golf and Guitars is a celebrity pro-am golf tournament and concert featuring nationally recognized & major label country music artists that raises money for two key children’s charities here in Sacramento. Each golfer in the tournament gets to play with one of the celebrities and then gets a seat next to the stage where these artists put on a tremendous concert underneath the beautiful golf course sky. Each artist will be play 18 holes with a foursome in this scramble event. It’s one of the rare opportunities to spend several great hours with a great musician in a relaxed atmosphere.

Who gets the money?
100% of the net funds are donated between two children’s-oriented non-profit charities. The mission of the Morton Golf Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity, is to provide funding to 13 different local charities and programs that provide exercise in a healthy outdoor environment, to create a recreational environment that builds lasting personal development and that seamlessly introduces life’s core values of the great game of golf to the youth, disabled and underserved communities in the Sacramento region. Half of the funds will go to JDRF, the Juvenille Diabetes Research Foundation, a group hoping to wipe out and create awareness for Type 1 Diabetes. JDRF is at the center of the global T1D community-leading the effort to coordinate and galvanize the many key constituents-families, businesses, government, researchers, and other organizations-in the quest to cure T1D. Over $150,000 has been raised in previous years events.
