Cliff Henry was one of the founding members of the Claremont Sunrise Rotary Club and came up with the idea of an annual golf tournament as a fundraiser.
As a result of this event, the Claremont Sunrise Rotary Club works on and/or donates each year to a variety of community, regional and international projects.
