Hole-In-One: A Call to Action for Elephant Preservation

Orphaned Baby Joy Elephant Rescued & Rehabilitated

The future of elephants hangs in the balance. These remarkable creatures—known for their wisdom, complex social structures, and ecological importance—face unprecedented threats. Illegal ivory trade, shrinking habitats, and human exploitation threaten to silence their thundering herds forever.

18 For the Elephants Charity Golf Tournament

Conservation was in action at Pelican Hill Golf Club in Newport Beach, where golfer and donor participation directly supported African elephant protection initiatives. This exclusive golfing opportunity featured stunning coastal panoramas, exciting competitions with valuable prizes, and exceptional cuisine and refreshments. Set against the backdrop of Pelican Hill's renowned course and stunning ocean views, the event also featured an online auction with a variety of luxury items, trips, artwork, and experiences that resulted in concrete conservation outcomes: protected sanctuaries and critical conservation programs throughout Africa's endangered elephant habitats.

We want to send a special thank you to our participants, donors, and volunteers who contributed to AAUF's 18 for the Elephants Charity Golf Tournament and helped to bring this mission to life.
