SAN BERNARDINO >> Stater Bros. Markets Executive Chairman, Jack H. Brown and long-time friend and PGA and Champions Tour Pro Dave Stockton proudly hosted the 9th Annual Stater Bros. Charities Dave Stockton Heroes Challenge. The event was held on Monday, March 14, 2016 at the Redlands Country Club Golf Course. The event also brought together 6 “MEDAL OF HONOR” Recipients and 17 Golf Professionals including Marine Corps veteran and World Golf Hall of Fame Members Lee Trevino, Donna Caponi-Byrnes and Juli Inkster in addition to Champions Tour Professional and Golf Analyst Gary McCord, who also has local ties. The six (6) “MEDAL OF HONOR” Recipients in attendance were from the Vietnam era and included Harvey C. “Barney” Barnum, Jr., Patrick H. Brady, Robert J. Modrzejewski, Robert M. Patterson, James A. Taylor and Jay R. Vargas. The “MEDAL OF HONOR” is the highest award given by America for valor in action against an enemy force and is presented to its recipient by the President of the United States of America. Additionally the tournament honored first responders from the December 2, 2015 tragedy including San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan and the San Bernardino Police Department as well as Sheriff - Coroner John McMahon and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. Stater Bros. Charities donated funds to each department to expand their Community “Outreach Programs”. Stater Bros. Charities also made a major donation to the Congressional Medal of Honor Scholarship Foundation. “Doing the right thing for the right reason is the Stater way,” stated Brown. “I’m a proud Navy veteran and Native Son of San Bernardino, my mother was the longest serving Reserve Officer for the San Bernardino Police Department dedicating 60 years, and my father served as Chief Deputy Sheriff for San Bernardino County for 27 years,” Brown continued. “Honoring the heroism of our local law enforcement and the courage of our ‘MEDAL OF HONOR’ Recipients while raising money for our brave veterans is simply the right thing to do,” Brown further added. Both Brown and Stockton were born and raised in San Bernardino, and have been proud residents of the Inland Empire and lifelong friends. Because of their close ties to the community, Brown and Stockton feel a great desire to give back to the Inland Empire. Stater Bros. Charities and the Stater Bros. Charities Dave Stockton “Heroes Challenge” Golf Tournament meets their commitment to their hometown.

A city is often judged by what residents experience every day: the condition of its streets, the reliability of public services, the availability of recreational programs and the ease of obtaining information from local government. Behind those everyday experiences are departments and employees whose work rarely attracts national attention.
