The combined proceeds from the 2022 Bridgestone SENIOR PLAYERS Championship and the Ambassador of Golf Event presented by FirstEnergy Foundation, raised $951,379 for Northeast Ohio charities.
The 2022 donation is the largest annual charitable total generated by these events. Since 1984, professional golf tournaments held at Firestone Country Club have generated over $31 million.
“This year’s record charitable total will have a positive impact on Northeast Ohio,” said Kaulig Companies Championship Executive Director Don Padgett III. “Thank you to Bridgestone, Westfield, FirstEnergy Foundation, Northern Ohio Golf Charities and all our supporters and fans for their efforts in making this donation become a reality. Additionally, we are very excited to partner with Kaulig Companies as title sponsor in 2023 and to start a new chapter of professional golf at Firestone.”
