Bridgepoint Education, Inc. (NYSE: BPI) announced that the Ninth Annual Bridgepoint Education Golf Invitational will be held on Monday, October 10, at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. The event will serve as a fundraiser for Rady Children’s Hospital.

Rady Children’s Hospital is a medical facility in San Diego that provides services to some of the most vulnerable members of the community. Since it opened in 1954, the hospital has treated nearly two million sick and injured children. It is San Diego County’s only hospital dedicated exclusively to pediatric care.

“Bridgepoint Education is proud to support the important work done at Rady Children’s Hospital,” said Andrew Clark, chief executive officer at Bridgepoint Education. “With the Bridgepoint Education Golf Invitational, we are able to give back to the hospital and show our support as they care for sick children right here in San Diego.”

In past years, the Bridgepoint Education Golf Invitational has raised more than $150,000 for Rady Children’s Hospital, including $40,000 raised at last year’s event.
