Chip-In for Charity

Presented by Sony

100% of Dollars Earned Go Back To Local Organizations
Over $150,000 Raised and Over $500,000 Since Its Inception

Chip-In For Charity has been a big hit for local groups and this year a record number of dollars are hoping to be raised.

The idea behind Chip-In For Charity is easy. Charities sell specially discounted tickets that are good any day to the Buick Invitational for $15.00. Unlike most fundraising programs, the charities keep 100% of the revenues. This year, as an added value, admission to the 2007 Nationwide Tour Championship was included as part of the package.

The Chip-In For Charity program engaged more than 60 local charities in 2007 that raised $150,000 to boost the total dollars raised to more than $500,000 in four years.

“The Chip-In For Charity program has proven to be a very beneficial program for many San Diego charities over the years and Sony supports their fine efforts,” said Ed Wallace, Vice President Community Affairs of Sony. “We certainly have enjoyed our association 100% of Dollars Earned Go Back To Local Organizations Over $150,000 Raised and Over $500,000 Since Its Inception with the Buick Invitational and The Century Club of San Diego and now with the 2007 Nationwide Tour Championship event, this will enhance the Chip-In For Charity program on an even larger scale.”

“We’ve successfully expanded the Chip-In For Charity project from our first year and it’s helped so many deserving local organizations,” said Jeff Byroads, 2008 President and General Chairman of the Century Club. “This has been a tremendously successful program that continues to add momentum each year. Many local groups have certainly benefited from the Chip-In For Charity program.”
