Win a Ford at golf tournament

LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE - Members of the steering committee for the fourth annual Andrew Torres Memorial Golf Tournament announced that STAR Ford in Glendale is sponsoring a partial zero emissions, 2008 Ford Focus SES "green" car as the hole-in-one prize.

The tournament will be held June


23, at the La Ca ada Flintridge Country Club. Nearly $190,000 has been raised for cancer research during the first three tournaments.
"We are thrilled with the support that local merchants and community members have given the tournament again this year," said Anita Brenner Torres. "It was Andrew's request that we help seek a cure for this disease."

Andrew Torres, a 1998 graduate of Flintridge Prep, died on April 3, 2004, at the age of 23, following a courageous battle with liver cancer. Torres graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 2002.

On April 9, 2004, the Secretary of the Navy posthumously awarded Torres the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal.

There are still spaces open for golfers to participate in this outstanding tournament. In addition to the hole-in-one event, there will be a silent auction featuring many wonderful items up for bid.

All proceeds will benefit cancer research at Huntington Medical Research Institutes.
