We cordially invite you to be a part of the 3rd Annual Golf Classic at the prestigious Sherwood Country Club. This event promises a day of camaraderie, competition, and community, all in support of a cause that transforms lives.
The Los Angeles Commercial Realty Association (LACRA) proudly announces the return of its signature philanthropic event, the 38th Annual Broker Challenge, benefiting Family Service of Santa Monica (FSSM), a division of Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services. This year’s event carries added significance as it mobilizes the commercial real estate community to support families deeply affected by the recent Palisades and Altadena Fires.
Set at a private beach club in Santa Monica, the Broker Challenge brings together hundreds of commercial real estate professionals for a full day of spirited team sports, culminating in the beloved “Sunset Beach Bash”. More than a day of fun, the event raises critical funds for FSSM’s mental health programs serving children, adults, and families facing emotional, social, and economic hardship.
In recent months, that need has grown exponentially. The Palisades and Altadena Fires displaced families overnight—many from within the commercial real estate community itself. In response, Family Service clinicians deployed immediately to recovery hubs like the Malibu Boys & Girls Club at Thirdspace, offering trauma-informed care, crisis counseling, and support for children re-enrolling in schools through collaboration with the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District. These rapid interventions are only possible thanks to community-backed events like the Broker Challenge.

Vista Del Mar has been a beacon of hope for children and families in need for over a century, providing essential mental health services, education, and support for those facing immense hardship. This year's golf event takes on even greater significance as we rally behind families affected by the devastating Palisades and Eaton Fires. Many of these families have lost their homes, livelihoods, and stability, and they rely on Vista Del Mar's programs to rebuild their lives. Through therapy, counseling, educational support, and basic resources, Vista helps these families regain their footing and find hope for the future.
Now, we ask you to stand with us by joining us for this special event - or making a generous contribution - and be a champion for those who need us most.
We look forward to seeing you on the greens for a day of purpose and play!
With deepest gratitude,
Event Co Chairs: Scott Boxenbaum, Arthur Jacobson, Taylor Megdal, Dan Palmer, James Perry, Phil Stein
