It’s Much More Than Golf

100 percent of the proceeds from the Sanderson Farms Championship goes directly to charities across Mississippi. Since becoming title sponsor in 2013, the tournament has raised record-breaking donations year-over-year, totaling over $13 million.

Community Impact

The Sanderson Farms Championship hosts 156 professional golfers, generating 300+ jobs, 1,000 volunteer opportunities and over $25 million in economic impact for Mississippi.

Charitable Impact

The Sanderson Farms Championship has raised over $13 million for charity. Each year the tournament contributes to over 50 local charities, with Friends of Children’s Hospital being the primary beneficiary.

We know that the people who are buying our chicken aren’t doing it because we sponsor a golf tournament, but we don’t sponsor a golf tournament so that people will buy our chicken. We do it for the 175,000 children who are treated at Children’s of Mississippi each year.
