A Memorial Golf Tournament will be held in honor of former City Manager Gaylord F. Knapp, who passed away of Huntington’s Disease in 1995. The annual tournament has raised $250,000 in 10 years for the Knapp Family Fund for HDSA.

Knapp, born December 1942, began his career as a planner in San Diego County in 1967.  He later worked in La Mesa, and went to Cerritos as the Director of Environmental Affairs in 1972.  He was appointed Cerritos City Manager in 1973 and served there until 1991 when he became the first City Manager in the City of Lake Forest.  Gaylord retired from Lake Forest when Huntington’s Disease prevented his further service in April, 1995.

Participation in this tournament has contributed significantly towards finding a cure for this crippling disease. We appreciate your joining with us to continue the efforts to find a cure for this devastating disease.
