The Pumas Veterans Day inaugural golf tournament is being held Nov. 11, at Cross Creek Golf Club, in Temecula off Glen Meadows road. Most of the money raised will go towards team shoes, team socks, travel bags and essentials the team may need. To register and pay online for the golf tournament, visit Chaparrals boys’ basketball website at www. chsboysbasketball.com. After the golf tournament is over anyone can join in on the helicopter golf ball drop. Members of the team will be selling tickets for $15, or go to charityvalet.com/chsbasketball/ and purchase a ticket. Those who participate in this event will have a chance to win 10 percent, up to $1,500, of the funds raised in the ball drop.

Chaparral High School is offering a chance to donate money to their basketball team and once complete, the team will be donating
