20th ANNUAL DMSB ROTARY BOCCE TOURNAMENT TO BENEFIT REALITY CHANGERS
Posted on Sep 01, 2016
On Sunday, October 9th the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club will put on its 20th Annual Rotary Turf Bocce Ball Tournament and Fundraiser at the Del Mar Horsepark. For the third year, Reality Changers will be a Major Beneficiary of this tournament. Reality Changers originated in San Diego and includes a program offered in Solana Beach.
(L to R) Reality Changers’ youth attendees, Daniel Noriega, Belix Guerra, Edmundo Lopez (hunched), and Charles Nguyen, at a previous Bocce Tournament where they helped Rotarians with the tournament and talked to participants about Reality Changers and its work.
DMSB Rotary supports Reality Changers because of its remarkable success in transforming lives. Reality Changers believes that college changes everything. That’s why they serve low-income, high-potential youth and prepare them to become first generation college students at the nation’s top colleges. (See www.realitychangers.org.)
Susan Hennenfent, a past president of DMSB Rotary, volunteers as a tutor and mentor at Reality Changers’ Solana Beach location and has been greatly impressed by its success. She said “I see firsthand the positive transformation of students who progress through the Reality Changers program. I’m very happy that contributions from our bocce tournament will help even more students take advantage of the opportunities they provide.”
