The First-EverKurt Caselli Golf Classic

August 19, 2026Bear Mountain Golf CourseBig Bear Lake, CA

Sixty golfers (riders, racers, families, and industry partners) filled every spot at Bear Mountain Golf Course in Big Bear Lake for a four-person scramble. Then they traded clubs for gear: every registered golfer rode the Big Bear MX Grand Prix track that afternoon, a full day before practice opened to the public.

Together, the day raised more than $14,000 for the Foundation's mission of protecting and supporting the lives of off-road riders and racers, funding rider safety initiatives, education, and scholarships.

Thank You to Our Sponsors

This event worked because our partners said yes to a first-year tournament before there was a track record to point to. Nine sponsors took a hole, six of them showed up and activated on course, and MX Trophies made sure the hardware was done right.
