Chargers News: LA Partners with Children's Hospital to Hold Annual Golf Tournament
When you really think about it, the Chargers' move to LA was a risk in itself. Even though the city offers various opportunities of endorsements, culture, and partnerships, they were joining one of the biggest markets in history with not a big fan base to show for it.
The Lakers, Dodgers, and USC football teams all have a long history of winning and, more importantly, are known to give back to their communities. Even though bringing home titles and championships define a franchise, events that give back to the hometown give them a long-lasting legacy.
It looks like the Chargers have been taking notes and want to continue making Los Angeles a better place to live. They announced on Thursday that they will be holding their annual golf tournament and partnering up with the Los Angeles Children's Hospital.
"The
Los Angeles Chargers Invitational presented by CHLA
, the team's annual golf tournament benefiting the Chargers Impact Fund, will take place June 5 at Rolling Hills Country Club in Rolling Hills Estates, CA."
"We're excited to once again host the Los Angeles Chargers Invitational at Rolling Hills Country Club and bring everyone together for such a good cause," said Chargers President of Business Operations and the Chargers Impact Fund. "It doesn't get much better than hitting the links with our players, legends, coaches and football leadership while simultaneously raising funds that help provide valuable resources to our community for education, mentorship and basic needs. We've been able to raise more than one million since the Invitational's inception in 2018, and with the continued support of fans, corporate partners and the greater Los Angeles business community this year, we're incredibly excited for the opportunity to add to that total in support of our community."

These are the types of moves that the Chargers have to keep making to establish themselves within Los Angeles amongst the other teams.
