Chip-In For Charity has been a valuable asset for local charities and this year a record number of dollars are hoping to be raised. The design behind the Chip-In For Charity program is very straight forward. Local San Diego Charities sell specially discounted tickets that are good any one day of the Farmers Insurance Open for $17.00. These tickets provide the purchaser access to tournament grounds, public grandstands and give them the opportunity to watch their favorite golfers play one of the most magnificent courses on the PGA TOUR.
The key to this program, however, is unlike any other fundraising programs. Charities keep nearly 90% of the revenues, no questions asked. “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 with The Century Club of San Diego.” The program engaged 42 local charities in 2010 that raised $32,000 to boost the total dollars raised to over $730,000 in seven years.
“The Chip-In For Charity Program has proven to be very beneficial for many of our local San Diego charities,” said Jim Horton, 2011 Century Club President. “It provides a way for our non-profit partners to raise much needed funds by selling tickets to our tournament, and keeping nearly 90% of the proceeds! Our goal this year is to raise even more money to support these worthy causes.” Any organization interested in signing up for the Chip-In For Charity program should contact The Century Club of San Diego at (858) 886-4653 or visit the tournament website at www.farmersinsuranceopen.com.
