About Score Fore Kids
Score Fore Kids was formed to raise significant revenue to support children in need. Since 2000, Score Fore Kids has raised over $1.1 million dollars for Children’s Hospital & Research Center Oakland. Funds raised by the Score Fore Kids golf tournament help offset the costs of millions of dollars in uncompensated care provided to regional families every year.
Score Fore Kids is proud to be affiliated with this distinctive hospital. As parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, we know how lucky we are to live in a region with such a valuable resource for the kids we love. We hope you will join us on September 21 at the Claremont Country Club as we help Children’s Hospital & Research Center Oakland be there for the kids!

JOE FONZI is KTVU FOX 2's weekend sports anchor. Fonzi graduated with a B.A. degree from California State University, Chico. He worked at KHSL (Chico), KXTV (Sacramento), KSBW (Salinas-Monterey), and then KPIX (San Francisco) from 1982 to 1994 as weekend sportscaster and feature reporter. Fonzi called the play-by-play for the Oakland A's, San Francisco Giants, San Francisco 49ers pre-season games, and Cal football games. For eight years, he hosted the Cal Highlight Show. He has been honored by the San Francisco Press Club, and has received several UPI awards, two NorCal RTNDA awards, and an Emmy Award. "I thoroughly enjoy the professional atmosphere at KTVU," Fonzi said. "It's the most consistently 'professional' station at which I've worked."
A lifetime Northern California resident, Fonzi and his family reside in the East Bay.
Sports Director RICH WALCOFF, who manages to blend a measure of entertainment and intrigue to the usual scores and sports highlights, has been adding his special brand of high energy sportscasting to KGO NEWSTALK AM 810 since July 1984.
Walcoff's sports reports are heard each weekday during the KGO Morning News. Walcoff was a key player on KGO’s “Voice of the Niners” broadcast team. He was the lead anchor in the 49ers pre-game program and the solo anchor of the post-game 49er talk show. The Associated Press recognized him and the rest of the KGO/49ers broadcast team in 1994 with an award for Best Play-By-Play Reporting of Sports. Rich has also been heard on KGO as a play by play announcer for Cal basketball and a color analyst for Cal football.
Walcoff began his sports career in 1971 while attending the University of Connecticut; he was the play-by-play voice of U Conn Huskies basketball, baseball and football games. Upon graduation in 1974, he went to WMMM in Westport, Connecticut as a news and sports reporter and in 1979 moved to KORJ in Orange, California in the same capacity. In 1981, Rich was lured to KRLA in Los Angeles as news and sports reporter and also became play-by-play announcer for U.C. Irvine basketball. In 1983, Walcoff moved to the Bay Area as news and sports director at KMEL-FM where he worked until joining KGO Radio. Walcoff also joined the ABC 7 TV Morning News team from 1996 to 1999 where he reported three times a day on the ABC 7 TV Morning News.
Walcoff, who holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and communications from the University of Connecticut, is a native of Long Island, New York. He and his wife and two sons live in Corte Madera, California.
MARK IBANEZ has been with the KTVU Channel 2 Sports Department for 30 years making him the longest running sports reporter and anchor in the Bay Area. He has received three Emmy Awards during his career as KTVU Channel 2 Sports Director: one for Best Regular Weekly Sports Show and another for "49er Playbook." He's also been nominated for an Emmy eight times.
His sports commentary book, "Mark's Remarks," has been a best-seller, with proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society. In recognition of his efforts, the society named him Ambassador of the Year.
Ibanez's love of sports, in-depth analysis and creative style made him the obvious choice in 1979 as sportscaster on KTVU's "Ten O’Clock News." In 1987, Ibanez was named sports director. When the NFL moved to Fox, he became the anchor of the highly-rated pre-game 49er Playbook and The Point After post-game show. Radio listeners can hear Ibanez each Monday talking sports with Greg Kiln on KUFX, known as K-Fox in San Jose.
Before coming to KTVU, Ibanez worked as a sportscaster on KXTV Channel 10 in Sacramento. Born in Toronto, Ibanez has lived most of his life in the Bay Area. He attended high school in Petaluma and junior college in Santa Rosa, then received his B.A. degree in Journalism, Radio and Television Broadcasting from the University of Idaho.
His interests, in addition to all sports, include music, theater, photography, and playing the drums. He lives in the Bay Area with his wife and four children.
