The Fellowship of Christian Athletes – Southern Arizona would like to thank those who supported the 2011 FCA National Golf Scramble held this past Friday at the La Paloma Country Club. Your participation and support in this tournament and because of the impact it has on our community by sending athletes to the FCA camp each summer for the experience of a lifetime.

Over the last 10 years FCA has been able to send over 1400 kids to camp who would not have had the opportunity to be challenged physically, mentally and spiritually. The FCA tournament not only allows us to send kids to camp but also to establish FCA huddle clubs in over 25 schools. Every week over 500 kids are impacted through FCA clubs and chapels services around Southern Arizona.

The FCA golf scramble luncheon gave a clear picture of what the FCA mission and vision is for our community.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is a not-for-profit evangelical Christian organization founded in 1954 and that has been based in Kansas City, Missouri since 1956. Members are encouraged, but not required, to be athletes.

A religious organization, FCA uses the influence of coaches and athletes as a means of Christian evangelism. The group operates chapters based in schools, and operates camps, workshops and conferences.

The Tucson chapter hosts a luncheon Bible study on the UA campus every Wednesday. The food is provided by Chick-fil-a. This meeting was attended by 24 men and 3 women from the campus, community and ministries. Brian Beitramo, AZ FCA State Coaches Director facilitated the study “Prepared to Win” based on 1 Peter:15-16.
