Exchange Club Raises $20K for Marines

The annual Semper Fi golf tournament last month was a success, club officials say.

The Exchange Club of San Clemente raised more than $20,000 for local Marine charities with their Semper Fi Golf Tournament last month.

The tournament pairs up teams of local residents each with a Marine to play through the San Clemente Municipal Golf Course. This year the club hosted 144 golfers and 36 active duty Marines as guests, said club spokesman Ken Wakefield.

The money will go to Marine Corps Family Services and other local charities, Wakefield said.
