The Metal Finishing Association of Southern California (MFASC) will host its 32nd Annual Golf Tournament and Fundraiser on Monday, May 11.
The event will be at the Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms Resort in the City of Industry, California. Long recognized as one of the most anticipated networking events in the regional finishing community, the tournament remains MFASC’s largest annual fundraiser and a cornerstone for industry advocacy.
A Tradition That Supports the Industry
First held in 1994, the MFASC Golf Tournament has grown into the largest annual gathering of metal finishing professionals in Southern California. The event plays a critical role in funding MFASC’s work on behalf of the industry—particularly in addressing environmental regulations, compliance challenges, and legal matters that directly affect finishing shops and suppliers across the region.
Proceeds from the tournament support MFASC’s non‑profit mission to protect and advance the interests of metal finishers, ensuring the industry’s voice is represented in legislative, regulatory, and legal arenas.
The 2026 event will follow a four‑person scramble format, offering both competitive and recreational golfers a full day of camaraderie, conversation, and friendly competition.
