Friend of Morton Golf Foundation Jim Sewell

Starting in 2022 Jim Sewell from Optimist Club of Country Club partnered with Morton Golf Foundation to provide a Back-to-School Giveaway for all the students at Robla Elementary School in Sacramento.

This is a low-income neighborhood that appreciates the community coming together to make their coming school year the best.

On Saturday, August 2nd Morton Golf Foundation will again join the Optimist Club of Country Club along with several other non-profits within Sacramento to welcome these students back.

The annual give aways provides these families with their necessities offering new shoes, socks, and underwear along with a fresh haircut and health care tips. The local food bank also makes sure each family goes home with enough food to prepare their next meal.

When the families leave Robla Elementary School after these powerful giveaways their family is not only set for the school year ahead but ready to tackle day to day needs.

Jim Sewell is not only a philanthropist but also a golfer.

Today, June 17th Jim is playing in the 3rd Annual Sacramento Valley Senior Amateur golf tournament at Haggin Oaks on the Alister MacKenzie Golf Course.

Jim has been playing golf for many years and enjoys the competition along with meeting new friends at each event.

Morton Golf Foundation is very proud of our partnership with Jim and the Optimist Club of Country Club.

We hope there are many years ahead where we can continue to make a difference both on and off the course.

Morton Golf Foundation Joins County Optimist for the Robla School Giveaway

Morton Golf Foundation, First Tee- Greater Sacramento joined County Club Optimist Club for the Annual Robla School Giveaway.

On Saturday, August 6th at 9:00 a.m. approximately 150 local school children from kindergarten through 6th Grade in the Robla School District joined in the fun for a back-to-school giveaway. What a wonderful way to get the students and families from the surrounding area of Robla School District off to a great start for the coming school year starting August 15th

There were several partners there to make sure the families had school class information. Many volunteers were handing out backpacks filled with school supplies, and healthy and nutritious bags of food and even the school Nurse was on hand to answer any questions.


The fun continued around the school yard as a BBQ lunch was being served along with games and snow cones to get the excitement up for the new school year.


Several of the students received a new pair of PUMA athletic shoes to wear all through the year.

Nothing is better than the safe feeling you have on that first day of School.
