At Father Joe’s Villages San Diego, every step toward ending homelessness is powered by purpose – and bold leadership from our community’s most committed business voices. The BEST CEO Group, a San Diego-based network of top executives, exemplifies this spirit, helping elevate the Father Joe’s Villages Golf Classic into one of the region’s premier philanthropic tournaments. Proceeds from the event support specialized programs for veterans experiencing homelessness.
Now in their second year as Presenting Sponsor, The BEST CEO Group has played a pivotal role in the tournament’s growth. In 2024, the event sold out for the first time, a milestone achieved after the group stepped into its leadership role.
“The decision to step up as Presenting Sponsor came from a place of shared values” Joe Phillips, The BEST CEO Group Chairman shared with GB Magazine. “We are not just supporting a tournament – we are investing in solutions that uplift veterans and strengthen the fabric of our community.”
Companies leading the 2025 charge include Baker Electric; Blue Marble Communication; Centura Wealth Advisory; Charmet Tile; Greater San Diego Air Conditioning Company, Inc.; McParlane & Associates; Richard & Richard Construction Company, Inc.; The Super Dentists; W. Bradley Electric, Inc.; and Western Pump.
“When CEOs come together with a shared mission, the impact is exponential,” shared Mike Schleyhahn, Golf Classic Chair and The BEST CEO Group alum. “Being a part of this event reminds us that business can be a force for good, especially when we act collectively.”
The 5th Annual Golf Classic will be held on September 25, 2025, at The Grand Del Mar. Sponsors will enjoy a world-class course alongside delicious refreshments, exciting games, and exclusive giveaways.
