Donations from Arrowhead Prop Busters
A local fishing club called the Arrowhead Prop Busters holds an open fishing tournament each year on Lake Arrowhead and makes a donation to LACC from this tournament.
They donated $915 from the 2021 open tournament held on Saturday, August 21, 2021.
Thanks to Shannon Doyle and APB for their generosity.

LACC has sponsored an open invitation golf Tournament for the past 13 years to help raise funds. The tournament started in 2009 with 8 volunteers that decided to play a round together at Province Lake golf course. Over time it has grown to as many as 75 players and become one of the largest annual fundraisers for the non-profit. Province Lake continues to host the tournament and has really helped it grow by coordinating a shotgun start, sponsor signage, and special events (who remembers the “driving cannon”?). The tournament is normally scheduled every third Friday of July. The event held July 16, 2021 raised 4,861.15 for LACC! Participants got a great round with friends, a welcome gift, other prizes, and a delicious BBQ lunch on-site. And most importantly, the tournament after party has helped build a great group of friends that not only look forward to the event each year, but also celebrate other events throughout the year. Check out photos from past years events and be sure to sign up to play in 2022!

Due to the pandemic and limits on players, Lake Arrowhead hosted its first ever LACC “Invitational Golf Tournament”. This year’s event was much smaller with less frills than past years. However, 40 returning players enjoyed a great day on the course and a great lunch hosted by Province Lake Golf Club. We made the best of a bad year and still raised $2,084.12 for the cause! Next year’s event is scheduled for July 16, 2021. Province Lake continues to support our effort as they continue to rebuild their facilities from the 2018 fire. Hopefully, next year we can get back to a more “normal” event! By: Phil Oreto
We had a wonderful volunteer, Kellie Mchugh, step up to take over the LAC calendar last year, and she did a great job!! We sold 113 calendars and made a profit of $1,297.25. Kellie will be doing the calendar again this year and she will be reaching out the members shortly with her plans. By: Tracie Doyle
Unfortunately, the Arrowhead Prop Busters have been unable to donate any funds to LACC because they have had to cancel or postpone all of their fishing tournaments due to Covd19 travel restrictions. Hopefully, they will be able to hold their annual open tournament on October 3rd. They will keep us updated.
