Special Connection to Orange County

As African elephants face increasing threats to their survival, the Angels Among Us Foundation and Over and Above Africa are partnering to present the inaugural “18 For The Elephants” charity golf tournament. Set for April 10, 2025, at Pelican Hill Golf Club, the event aims to rally Southern California in support of critical conservation efforts for these endangered animals.
"Each moment we delay action inches us closer to an unthinkable reality – a world without these gentle giants," said Oracle Maureen, founder of Angels Among Us Foundation. Elephants are not only symbols of the wild but also highly intelligent creatures with deep social bonds and ancient wisdom.
The tournament supports Over and Above Africa’s conservation approach, which focuses on protecting wildlife while empowering local communities. “Conservation succeeds when local communities become its champions,” said Kerry David, founder of Over and Above Africa. “When villages have an economic stake in wildlife preservation, we see measurable progress in both species survival and human welfare.”
The event begins at 9 a.m. with registration and a networking reception, followed by an 11 a.m. shotgun start. The day concludes with a 4:30 p.m. awards ceremony and dinner reception.
Participants will receive:
- A 25% discount on accommodations at Pelican Hill Resort
- Championship golf on a world-class course
- Five-star culinary offerings throughout the day
- Skills challenges with conservation-themed prizes
- Exclusive access to an online auction supporting anti-poaching initiatives
