LOS ANGELES - AstroBug -- The fourth annual Jaime & Blanca Jarrín Golf Classic, presented by Los Defensores, is taking place at San Gabriel Country Club. This year, the proceeds raised at the event will support World Central Kitchen and its mission to provide meals to those affected by the Southern California wildfires.

Since its inception in 2019, the primary focus of the annual charity golf tournament has been to raise funds for scholarships benefiting economically disadvantaged college students. While the foundation remains committed to awarding $73,000 in scholarships this year, the recent wildfire catastrophe has prompted a shift in priorities. This year's tournament proceeds will be directed toward immediate fire relief efforts.

Los Defensores, through their Siempre Contigo initiative, has joined forces with the Jaime & Blanca Jarrin Foundation (JBJF) to support World Central Kitchen, an organization founded by renowned chef and philanthropist José Andrés. The funds raised will aid local restaurants and food trucks across Southern California in serving comforting meals to families affected and displaced, first responders, and residents recovering from the devastating fires.

Our goal is to inspire collective action and meaningful partnerships to help communities rebuild and recover," stated Jarrín.

Los Defensores and its Siempre Contigo community initiative are dedicated to uplifting underserved communities, amplifying their voices, and providing support when needed.
