Now in its 20th Year, the 42-Tournament Series
Will Top the $16 Million Mark in
Charitable Giving
WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J.,
May 22, 2019 /CNW/
-- Chubb has kicked off its 20th annual
Chubb Charity Challenge tournament season. Hosted by Chubb branch
offices, the series of 42 local golf tournaments being held between
May and September of this year invites agents, brokers and clients
to events throughout North
America. All events are designed to raise money for
charities, many within each of the tournament's respective
localities, with the sum raised across all 2019 events expected to
approach $1 million.
Competing on behalf of their selected charities, the winning
foursome from each regional tournament advances to the finals
tournament, which will be held this September 22-25 at The American Club in
Kohler, WI. There, all teams will
win money for their charity of choice. The amount each team wins
depends on where they finish among the field of 42 teams upon
conclusion of the two-day finals tournament, where the grand prize
for the winning team is $50,000.
"Chubb is excited to kick-off the 2019 Chubb Charity Challenge,"
said Chris Maleno, Division
President, Chubb North America Field Operations. "This annual
tradition is near and dear to us, as it allows us the opportunity
to give back to worthy causes within the communities where we live,
work and serve. So as we celebrate its 20th anniversary,
we acknowledge and applaud all within our network of brokers and
agents throughout North America
who have participated in the Chubb Charity Challenge over the last
two decades."
Between 2000 and 2018, more than 5,200 teams have participated
in the Chubb Charity Challenge, raising nearly $16 million for charity collectively, including
more than $900,000 in 2018. Last
year's winning team was from JLT Specialty USA from the White
Plains/Albany, NY regional
tournament. With that win, they were able to present a $50,000 check to Berkshire Farm Center &
Services for Youth of Canaan,
NY.
