CDCE’s Solomon Honored at UCLA Golf Classic

LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. - June 25, 2013 - PRLog -- This year’s UCLA Golf Classic (http://www.UCLAGolfClassic.com) honored Brian Solomon, Co-founder of CDCE, Inc. (http://www.CDCE.com), with its 2013 Outstanding Bruin Award at Coto de Caza Golf Club.  The prestigious honor is presented annually to a UCLA graduate, who exemplifies an outstanding commitment to his community and greater causes.

Explains the event’s co-chair Cristina Walters, “We’re honored to have Brian Solomon recognized at this year’s Golf Classic. He has been an exemplary alumnus, who continues to value his UCLA education and appreciate the importance of giving back to support future generations of Bruins.”

Adds Brian Solomon, “The impact of supporting the UCLA Golf Classic can’t be measured in dollars; rather, it is measured by the change facilitated in the lives of others.  UCLA taught me to persevere and overcome adversity.  I have my diploma in my office, and every time I look at it, I realize how lucky I was to be accepted.  So, each year I give back to the institution that taught me how to persevere and overcome adversity in daily life.”

Concluding its thirteenth consecutive year, the UCLA Golf Classic is the largest UCLA fundraiser in Orange County, and is vital to the world-class University for which it raises funds.  Since California supports only 7% of the University’s budget, it is crucial to raise private funding for UCLA’s scholars and athletes.  Benefiting the UCLA Alumni Association’s Scholarship Program, the UCLA Fund and the Wooden Athletic Fund, this highly anticipated event supports the scholars and athletes of today and the campus of tomorrow.

In its history, the UCLA Golf Classic has attracted Bruin coaches and athletes such as: Coach Gary Adams, Coach Terry Donahue, Kris Farris, Skip Hicks, Marques Johnson, Rafer Johnson, Coach Jim Mora, Ed O’Bannon and Mike Sherrard, among many others.
