Golfers and Country Music Stars Come Together For a Good Cause 

KNCI 105.1 FM has partnered with Morton Golf Foundation to host the Golf & Guitars Music Festival and Children’s Charity Concert. Now in its 14th year, the event was held on October 17th and 18th at Haggin Oaks Golf Complex.

It is a celebrity pro-am golf tournament and concert featuring nationally recognized Country music stars and up-and-coming singer/songwriters who will soon be topping the charts to raise money for children’s charities in Sacramento.

The charity concert and golf tournament benefits the Morton Golf Foundation (MGF), which helps to better the lives of hundreds of underserved kids yearly.

AutoAccident.com was one of the event’s sponsors this year, along with our friend, Tifanni Johnson, of Bonneville Radio.

About Morton Golf Foundation

The Morton Golf Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 2010. Its mission is to help supplement deserving programs in the Sacramento area that offer golf to underprivileged people.

The Foundation soon realized that several needy kids in The First Tee of Greater Sacramento (TFTGS) Programs did not have the resources to take golf lessons, buy equipment, or pay to attend local competitions. The programs were beginning to turn out many talented youth golfers each year who could use funds for college. After forming a solid Board of Directors, the Morton Golf Foundation started generating funds to enrich the lives of these less fortunate youth through the great game of golf.

In the first five years since the Foundation was formed, it has given almost $500,000 to numerous programs such as:

MGF has also given financial support and college scholarships to local youth golfers in need. Funds come from special events, memorials, and local donations. MGF’s primary fundraiser is the Golf & Guitars Celebrity-Am Tournament and Concert Event, jointly with KNCI Radio each year. The Foundation continues to help better the lives of hundreds of needy children throughout the Sacramento region every year.
