BIGHORN Golf Club Charities is distributing over $635,000 to 76 deserving Coachella Valley non-profit agencies through its 2021 BIGHORN Cares grants. BIGHORN Members are honored and proud to help so many non-profits in the Coachella Valley especially during these challenging times. This year, Charities Director Kelly Levy will present the awarded organizations with their donation to thank the donors, volunteers and board members who helped make this possible. “By volunteering and seeing firsthand the ramifications that the pandemic has had on the community has been eye opening, but it’s comforting to be a part of such a strong community that continues to make a significant impact as an entirety.”
BIGHORN Cares funds specific projects by local non-profit organizations that demonstrate a real need and are making an impactful difference in the community. “Organizations receiving a grant service a broad range of people and programs. Together we are creating a brighter future for individuals, their families, and their communities, said Joe Kirby, BIGHORN Cares Chairman.”
