Barney & Barney LLC, one of the nation's largest, independent insurance brokerages, today announced a new charitable initiative to support the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at CHOC Children's Hospital (CHOC) in Orange (News - Alert) County, California.

The inaugural Orange County Golf Classic will take place on Monday, Dec. 3 at Dove Canyon Country Club and will include 144 golfers. Proceeds from donations, golf registrations and sponsorships will go directly to support CHOC's NICU babies and their families.

"CHOC is very grateful to Barney & Barney for its commitment to improving the lives of infants and families confronted with the serious challenge of preterm birth," said Dr. Vijay Dahr, medical director of the NICU atCHOC. "Pre-term birth is a nationwide problem, but with the financial support of companies such as Barney & Barney, we are making a profound difference."



CHOC operates one of the nation's most highly regarded NICUs. The 54-bed unit provides tertiary and quaternary care to premature infants and babies born with a variety of serous conditions requiring specialized care.

"Barney & Barney is proud to support the wonderful work of CHOC and appreciates the generous financial contributions made by so many individuals and organizations in Orange County," said Travis Trask, Principal and Managing Director of the firm's Orange County office. "The Orange County Golf Classic is part of our firm's commitment to being an active and positive contributor in all of our communities."


The golf tournament is being hosted by the Barney & Barney Foundation, which was established in 2009 to commemorate the firm's centennial anniversary. Since then, the Foundation has awarded over $600,000 in grants to more than 50 recipients throughout California. In September, the Foundation raised $100,000 for nonprofit organizations with a benefit concert at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego County.
