Nearly 2000 volunteers contribute approximately 100,000 hours annually to make the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic a success. Thanks to their efforts, the tournament has donated nearly $44 million to local charities since its inception forty-eight years ago. As our tournament grows, the Classic continually relies on the support of new volunteers. |
