Dear Venice High School Supporter,

We write to invite you to be a part of the “Venice Team” by supporting this year’s Gondo Golf Classic hosted by the Gondolier Booster Club of Venice High School. Your help will have a direct positive impact on the lives of the more than 2000 Venice High School students. 

Now in its 29th year, the Gondo has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to support the athletic, academic and extracurricular programs at Venice High. Each year the Boosters distribute the proceeds from the Gondo directly to these groups to be used to cover expenses that the cash strapped district does not pay. In addition, the Gondo provides most of the annual funding for our award-winning Sports Medicine program. 

We are looking forward to hosting the Gondo Golf Classic on June 19, 2023, at Sunset Hills Country Club. After golf, the nearly 180 golfers, guests, and volunteers—alumni, teachers, and community members—will sit down together for dinner, an awards presentation and the results of the auction.

There are many ways you can help make the Gondo a success, including playing in the tournament, sponsoring a group of students to play in the event, sponsoring a tee or hole, donating an item for the online auction or simply making a cash donation.  All help is appreciated. The Gondo is organized by a diverse group made up of current and former Venice High teachers, administrators, students, parents, alumni and coaches. On behalf of those volunteers and the students of Venice High School we thank you for your support.

Very truly yours,

Gondo Golf Classic Organizing Committee: ​Kevin Behrendt, Jan Davis, Myra Einberg, Brian Bleser, Sharon Gebhart, Margo Oku, Amy Shimizu, Nikki Gilbert, Amy Walters, Alex Galvan and Jasmine Jaffe
