Rotary International Paul Harris Fellow and Swing for Kids honorary committee member, Irene Valenti (president of Valenti International), will host a Swing for Kids Tee Off party on Monday, July 19, from 5:30-8:30pm, at the Valenti Estate in Rancho Santa Fe with Valenti’s longtime family friend and legendary entertainer, Chubby Checker, as guest of honor. The event will include a wine tasting by South Coast Winery, appetizers from Dolce Pane E Vino, opportunity drawings, and music provided by Don Clark. Swing for Kids is an eco-inspired golf tournament that will be held at Del Mar Country Club on Friday, September 3. All proceeds from both events will benefit the Rotary Club of Rancho Santa Fe, Kids Korps USA, San Pasqual Academy, Pro Kids Golf Academy, and Camp Pendleton Armed Services/YMCA.
Valenti notes, “We are thrilled that Chubby Checker will be joining us to assist with our fundraising efforts. With almost 50 years in the music industry, he is a dynamic entertainer and a renowned humanitarian — it’s an honor to have him with us at this event to kick-off fundraising activities for the golf tournament.” Tickets are $50 per person for nonprofit beneficiary members and $100 per person for all others.
