Tournament Chair
Rick Higgins
Rick and his wife, Eve, have lived in Palos Verdes Estates since 1985 and are members of Palos Verdes Golf Club where Rick has served as a past president. He loves golf and plays twice a week since retiring 20 years ago from Capital Group. Rick served on several boards, including board president for Catholic Big Brothers, Big Sisters and board member at L.A. Biomed (now The Lundquist Institute) and for the past 8 years he has been a board member on the Torrance Memorial Foundation Board.

Rick says he is very fortunate to live in such a nice area with his two sons and their families living within walking distance. His work with the hospital can be summed up this way: “I am proud to support Torrance Memorial Medical Center, the jewel of the South Bay, and one of the best hospitals in the country.”

It is with grateful hearts and much appreciation that we thank Martin Chevrolet owner Joe Giacomin and Lewis Cook, general manager, for their generous donation of a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 double-cab pickup truck (valued at over $50,000) to the Torrance Memorial engineering department.
This amazing donation by Martin Chevrolet fills a much-needed gap with a service vehicle of its type that the department has not had since 2001. It will enable them to service the facilities and patient areas and keep them in excellent working condition. Joe and Lewis made the donation in person in June 2021 alongside Torrance Memorial CEO and president Craig Leach and the engineering department. It was a banner day for all of us!
Thank you again Martin Chevrolet!





Happiness is a long walk with a putter.
