URGENT UPDATE: The sixth annual Animal Compassion Team Golf Tournament just concluded in Fresno County, raising over $30,000 for a local no-kill shelter dedicated to finding homes for dogs and cats. Held on Monday, October 23, 2023, at the Belmont Country Club, the event attracted more than a hundred passionate golfers eager to support a worthy cause.

Participants, many of whom have played in the tournament every year, came together for a day filled with camaraderie and compassion. “It’s great to see them; it’s really a friendship type thing,” said Doug Gray, the special events coordinator for Animal Compassion Team. “We get to see everybody get together again for the perfect cause. It just brings me a lot of joy.”
