Indio CHP event raises
funds for families in need
D
esert police officers are
hitting the links to help
those in their high-risk
profession at the Indio CHP
Desert Patrolman's Squad Club
Golf Tournament set for Mon-
day, May 12, on the Celebrity
Course at Indian Wells.
The annual event raises funds
for the California Highway
Patrol 11-99 Foundation.
Civic leader Bob Wein-
berg created the foun-
dation in 1982 as a
way to provide emer-
gency benefits to CHP
employees and their
families in times of crisis.
More than $21 million in aid has
been issued since its inception.
"It's an organization that pro-
vides financial support for fami-
lies of fallen officers and also
scholarships to the children of
fallen officers," said CHP Offi-
cer Stephanie Hamilton.
Foundation assistance helped
Elizabeth Martinez earn a bache-
lor's degree from UCLA and a
master's degree from SDSU. Her
father, Officer Saul Martinez — a
Latino Police Officer of the Year
known locally as "el protector"
— was killed in 1997 when he
and his partner were checking
on a car stopped on the shoul-
der. An oncoming car barreled
toward the men, and Martinez
pushed his partner to safety.
The four-player scramble will
have a 7:30 a.m. shotgun start.
Cost is $120 per player, or $45
per person for lunch-only par-
ticipants. The entry fee includes
golf, cart, access to the practice
range, door prizes and lunch.
Hole-in-one prizes will in-
clude $10,000 and a 2014 Ford.
A silent auction and raffle will
be held at the luncheon.
Deadline to enter is May 1.
The event will take place
on the Celebrity Course.
