CHARITIES WE SUPPORT
Each Invited property raises money for the Employee Partners Care Foundation (E.P.C.F.) and a charity of the club’s choice through the Charity Classic. The E.P.C.F. is a 501(c)3 fund established to help Invited Employee Partners in need of financial assistance in times of crisis. The E.P.C.F. has assisted more than 1,500 Employee Partners and their families with over $1.8 million in grants since its inception in 2007. If a charity is chosen, the profits from the Charity Classic are split evenly among the E.P.C.F. and the club's charity. Past charities have included:
Family HealthCare Center
American Mobility Foundation
Habitat for Humanity
Livestrong
Make-A-Wish Foundation
Big Brothers Big Sisters
La Buena Vida Foundation

Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
Small World and Kid Swing
