The Story Behind
The Classic

A single act of kindness sparked a movement. The Golf Classic brings together supporters, players, and sponsors to back a mission that started with one little girl and one simple idea — that hats could brighten someone’s day.

Since then, Ellie’s Hats has donated over $850,000 and sent 2,000+ care packages to children across 48 states.

Through this tournament, we continue to provide support — financial and emotional — to families navigating childhood cancer.
