One day of golf and country music will give people the chance to enjoy both, and raises money for Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital at the same time. The 12th annual K-FROG Cares Golf Classic and K-FROG Cares Concert tee off on Friday, April 18 at Pechanga Resort & Casino. Three of country music’s rising female artists - Jana Kramer, Katie Armiger and Natalie Stovall & The Drive - lend their voices and musical talent for a one of a kind concert at 7 p.m. on April 18. The ladies look forward to selling out the 1,200-seat theater to raise as much money as possible to help the children at Loma Linda in San Bernardino County. The golf tournament gets underway at Journey at Pechanga with registration at 8:30 a.m. that day, followed by a putting contest, the tournament and dinner. Participation in the golf tournament is $250 per person or $900 for a foursome and includes a golf shirt, lunch, gourmet dinner, photos and concert ticket. Many of Jana Kramer’s original music fans know her from her main role on the CW television show “One Tree Hill.” During the last four years, Jana has released five singles, “Why Ya Wanna" was number 3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and just released is her current hit “I Hope It Rains.” According to her website, she sold more than 150,000 digital singles in the first six months of her break on the music scene in 2011. “Country music is in my blood,” says Kramer. “I love country music because it tells a story and I have a lot of stories to tell.” Katie Armiger made history by becoming the longest charting and most charted independent female country artist in history. Armiger’s recent album, “Fall Into Me,” which debuted at #6 on the Independent Albums chart, #7 on Billboard Country Albums chart, #32 on Billboard 200 chart, has sold more than 70,000 copies since its release. Armiger has received national recognition including OK! Magazine's "Next Big Deal" (July 2013), in Seventeen Magazine's "The Hottest Country Singers" (June 2013) and had a featured National TV Performance on ABC's "Bachelor Pad” season 3, CNN Headline News and Fox & Friends. Each of her last four videos have reached the No.1 spot on GAC’s “Top 20 Countdown.” Natalie Stovall and the Drive are set off by the singer’s powerful vocals and sparkling country fiddle. Performing on stage since she was 10, Stovall made her Grand Ole Opry debut just two years later, even though she had been learning to play the violin since the age of four. The band’s website illustrates the five-member group’s dedication to their craft, playing more than 200 dates a year. They were named Entertainers of the Year in 2012 by Campus Activities Magazine and have played numerous shows in the Middle East as part of their Navy Entertainment Tours in support of U.S. troops around the world. Natalie Stovall and the Drive are set to release their debut album later this year. Her current single “Baby Come On With It” has just hit the airwaves. For golf tournament entry, visit www.Kfrog.com or call (909) 825-9525. Tickets to the concert may be purchased separately and are $15. Tickets are now on sale and may be purchased in person at the Pechanga Box Office, via telephone at (877) 711-2946 or online at www.Pechanga.com/Entertainment.

As America's most famous highway celebrates its centennial in 2026, San Bernardino reflects on the road that helped shape its neighborhoods, businesses and identity.

A city is often judged by what residents experience every day: the condition of its streets, the reliability of public services, the availability of recreational programs and the ease of obtaining information from local government. Behind those everyday experiences are departments and employees whose work rarely attracts national attention.
