Local Charities to Benefit
In addition to your chance to witness world-class golf, ticketholders will be contributing to the positive impact this tournament will have on local communities. Tournaments under the PGA TOUR umbrella donate their net proceeds each year to support local philanthropic organizations, totaling close to $4 billion to date, which is more than all other major sports leagues combined. A total of $225,000 will be allocated for Myrtle Beach-area charities in 2024.
Help 4 Kids, a volunteer organization dedicated to fighting childhood hunger, is among the beneficiaries. The Myrtle Beach Classic’s donation will be a game-changer, allowing them to continue providing vital weekend meals to over 3,000 children in Horry County schools.
“This grant is a huge win for our organization,” said Barb Mains, founder of Help 4 Kids. “It will enable us to feed these children for two months, ensuring they don’t go hungry over weekends.”
Other local charities selected for grants include Blue Star Mothers of Coastal Carolina, Boys and Girls Clubs of the Grand Strand, Champion Autism Network, Children’s Recovery Center, Classy Smiles, Helping Hand of Myrtle Beach, Project Golf, and SOS Care.
