A leading West Coast supplier of agricultural and work equipment announced a $50,000 donation to Ronald McDonald House Charities Central Valley (RMHCCV) —  and also announced its annual FORE! The House Golf Tournament this coming spring to the Visalia Country Club for the first time, in addition to the charity’s annual tournament hosted at Copper River Country Club.

Papé, one of the largest equipment rental, parts and service companies in the state, is continuing its commitment to leaving a positive impact on the lives of Central Valley residents — particularly those caring for children facing pediatric illnesses, according to a news release.

“We are thrilled and deeply grateful for Papé’s generous contribution to RMHC Central Valley. This significant donation will make a meaningful difference in the lives of families going through challenging medical journeys,” said Kent Karsevar, executive director at RMHC Central Valley.

The annual FORE! The House Golf tournament, which will be held on June 9-10 this spring at the Visalia Country Club, will benefit the Ronald McDonald House, located on campus at Valley Children’s Hospital in Madera.

Donating sponsors are invited to field teams, with bronze-level sponsorships starting at $2,500, and each sponsor level inviting at least one foursome team to the tournament. Sponsors also receive gift certificates to the pro shop, marketing opportunities and four tickets to the pre-tournament dinner.

A la carte sponsorships are also available, with hole sponsorships starting at $500, providing sponsors opportunities to set up a booth at the holes. Drink sponsors can advertise their company logo and name at bar areas.

Guests are also invited to join the fun at the pre-tournament dinner on June 9. Individual tickets to the dinner start at $100. Sponsors are provided with four pre-tournament dinner tickets, with platinum sponsors receiving eight.

“Papé recognizes the profound impact that RMHC has on families facing the challenges of caring for seriously ill children, and believes in the organization’s ability to create a meaningful and lasting impact on the well-being of these families,” said Randy Hall, general manager of Papé Material Handling. “By supporting RMHC, Pape demonstrates its commitment to fostering a compassionate and supportive environment, reflecting the company’s broader dedication to social responsibility and community development.”

The pre-tournament dinner and auction will be held on Sunday, June 9 at 5 p.m., with the tournament kicking off the following day. Registration for the tournament starts at 7:30 a.m. with tee off scheduled at 9 a.m.

Awards and cocktails will immediately follow the competition.
