SWORD SWALLOWERS, AERIAL PERFORMERS AND STILT WALKERS MESMERIZED SUPPORTERS AT TILLYS 10TH GOLF TOURNAMENT BENEFITING TILLY’S LIFE CENTER

May 2, 2017 (Irvine, Calif.) – Yesterday, several hundreds came together at the Mission Viejo Country Club in Southern California for TILLYS 10th Charity Golf Tournament to benefit Tilly’s Life Center (TLC). This year’s circus-themed golf tournament, auction and party attracted influential individuals from local businesses and action sports brands that enjoyed a day of golfing, games and performances by sword swallowers, aerial performers, stilt walkers, a python handler and contortionists.

“We are truly thankful for the on-going support of our sponsors, brands, executives, volunteers and friends who helped make this event so special,” said the co-founder of TILLYS and founder of TLC, Tilly Levine. “With the funds raised, we can continue to empower teens across Southern California and beyond by teaching life skills that build confidence, inspire compassion, and encourage them to pursue their dreams.”

In true circus style, it was a “come one, come all” event, attracting key sponsors, brands and executives such as: Volcom, Nike, Billabong, DC Shoes, Vans, Converse, Stance, Tavik, LRG and many more. The tournament began with a putting contest, followed by a shot gun start at 10:00 a.m. that sent golfers out in clown-inspired golf carts to compete on Mission Viejo Country Club’s 18-hole course.
