The organizers of this exciting event believe in the old axiom “charity begins at home”, and as such, have chosen to share a portion of the proceeds from The Members Cup with select organizations having strong ties to the golf industry, the ability to impact communities, and whose mission is grounded in enhancing the lives of others.

	The First Tee is an initiative of the World Golf Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in St. Augustine, FL at World Golf Village, home of the World Golf Hall of Fame. Its mission is to impact the lives of young people by providing learning facilities and educational programs that promote character development and life-enhancing values through the game of golf. Since its inception in 1997, The First Tee has introduced the game of golf and its values to more than 2.2 million participants and students in 48 states and four international locations – Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and Singapore. Former President George Bush serves as honorary chairman.
	Golf Fights Cancer is a non-profit volunteer organization made up of both industry professionals and average golfers who are committed to using golf as a platform to raise money in the fight against cancer. The mission of Golf Fights Cancer is to tap into the passion and generosity of all golfers to raise needed funds for cancer-related organizations supporting research and people living with the disease.
