The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) today announced that
the 2019 Travelers Championship generated approximately $2 million
for more than 150 charitable organizations. The tournament
contributes 100% of its net proceeds to nonprofits, and since
Travelers became title sponsor in 2007, the event has generated
nearly $20 million for more than 750 local charities.
“The success of the Travelers Championship is a credit to the
thousands of people who go above and beyond to make it a
world-class event,” said Alan Schnitzer, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer at Travelers. “We would like to thank everyone
who made this year’s tournament possible –– the PGA
TOUR, the players, the volunteers and, of course, the fans. Their
efforts enabled us to generate substantial support for charity. On
top of that, the entire community should be proud that the
Travelers Championship generates about $70 million of economic
activity each year for the state of Connecticut. Congratulations to
our 2019 champion, Chez Reavie, for his impressive victory against
the world’s best. We’re looking forward to making the 2020
Travelers Championship another memorable event.”
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, based in Ashford, Connecticut,
was once again the tournament’s primary beneficiary. It provides a
camp experience for children with serious illnesses. Camp, along
with the other charities that benefit from the tournament, will
receive its donation at a celebration later this year.
“We’re motivated to find new ways to make the event bigger and
better each year so we can reach as many charities as possible,”
said Andy Bessette, Executive Vice President and Chief
Administrative Officer at Travelers. “The entire community has
embraced this event, and we’re proud of the efforts made by so many
and appreciative of their support.”
The 2020 Travelers Championship will take place June 22–28 at
TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. For more information,
