PCDA was pleased to hold its first inaugural Golf Classic and Golf Ball Drop at Brookside Golf Course. More than 50 golfers enjoyed a day on the course, and 80 plus guests, including PCDA families, joined in the family barbecue following the tournament. Pasadena's finest firefighters joined in the action by dropping more than 600 golf balls from their hook and ladder for the golf ball drop.
