La Cañada Valley Sun: La Cañada Flintridge, California ‘Swing for a cure’ golf tourney June 23

“Swing for a Cure” is the theme of the 4th Annual Andrew Torres Memorial Golf Classic, to be held at the La Cañada Flintridge Country Club on Monday, June 23. Andrew Torres, a La Cañada resident, was a 23-year-old Marine 2d lieutenant at the time of his death, from cancer.

The annual event, organized by friends and classmates of Torres, has raised over $190,000 for cancer research at Huntington Memorial Research Institutes in Pasadena. This year’s co-chairs are his sister, Rachel Torres and classmate Matt Linder.

This year’s event will feature a hole-in-one car, courtesy of Star Ford, as well as ample tee prizes. For non-golfers, a limited number of tickets are still available for the silent auction and dinner.
