DANA POINT, CA :: On Monday, May 21, Hope International University held its 12th Annual GOLF CHALLENGE to raise funds for student scholarships and departmental programs. This year, the event raised over $70,000, shattering previous records. Since it’s inception, this event has raised a cumulative total surpassing $540,000.

Our 2018 tourney participants included over 40 University friends, supporters, alumni, trustees, administrators, staff, local pastors and church leaders, and community members. The group enjoyed spectacular coastal views at the Monarch Beach Golf Links course in Dana Point. Golfers competed for prizes before and during the round, and gathered for a delicious awards dinner at nearby Salt Creek Grille afterward.
