On March 14, more than 150 guests attended the Fresh Start Surgical Gifts soiree overlooking Morgan Run Golf Course in Rancho Santa Fe.
“Fresh Start Surgical Gifts provides free, world-class reconstructive surgery and related services to disadvantaged children and young people with physical deformities caused by birth defects, accidents, abuse or disease,” said Nancy Kelly, development director.
“Children come from across the United States and all over the world to receive the gift of a fresh start.”
Since its inception in 1991, $17 million has helped 4,800 children and young people undergo life-changing surgical transformations.
Celebrity co-hosts and emcees for the evening Alfonso Ribeiro and Grant Show were delighted to be there.
“This is my sixth year hosting this event and I love doing it because it’s all about the kids,” Ribeiro said.

Guests perused abundant silent auction tables. However, the Morgan Run Club & Resort full membership was the buzz.
Jason Lawhead served as auctioneer.

Crane started off with three birdies in his first five holes, with the highlight coming at at the par-3 3rd hole where he dropped a 46-foot birdie bomb. On the back nine, Crane went up by three strokes on the field after a 47-foot birdie bomb at the par-3 11th hole, but bogeys at the 13th and 17th holes dropped the lead to a single stroke. Crane missed the fairway at the par-5 18th hole, but he laid up his second shot and his approach found the first cut only 4-yards away from the cup. He was able to two-putt from there to win his first tournament since 2005 US Bank Championship. The win is the third career victory for Crane on the PGA Tour and the championship has earned him an invitation to this year’s Masters and PGA Championship.
