The Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce (SCBCC) is a nonprofit 501(c)(6) business organization dedicated to improving the economic environment for the minority business community, and fostering business development and prosperity. The SCBCC focuses its efforts on four major areas, which include economic development, community development, public policy and membership services. The SCBCC invests financial and other resources to implement relevant programs for members and which affect the orderly growth and development of the community. It is the catalytic agency that brings together all of the forces, public and private, through which common goals can be resolved. The fundamental mission of the SCBCC is to create and promote a climate where minority businesses can operate in a productive and profitable manner. The SCBCC has served member businesses since 1993, enabling them to prosper through mutual cooperation and support.
The 15th Annual Celebrity Golf Classic is just one of many programs that the SCBCC puts on.
The mission of the golf classic is to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s and Dementia, and the goal is to raise $20,000 for Alzheimer’s and Dementia programs.
“We expect to have a total of 144 golfers, several sponsors and to get more information on Alzheimer’s and Dementia out to the public by using celebrities to spread the word,” Rich Wallace, President of Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce, said.
There will be a wide range of celebrities in attendance, from actors to commentators. They include: Rocky Carroll; Richard Grant; Kiki Shepard; James Pickens, Jr.; Jeff Johnson; Iris Little-Thomas; Basil Wallace; Fushcia; Clifton Powell; Sam McMurray; Bill Nunn; Jackee Harry; Earl Billings; Ellis Williams; Glynn Turman; Eugene Lee; Oz Scott; David Marciano; Keith David; and Tucker Smallwood.
