The United Way has raised $500,000 for United Way chapters in the area, including $10,000 for the United Way in Tarrant County.
These reserves are generally raised during the annual Jacky Pierce Charity Classic. However, due to the COVID-19 crisis, the annual charity tournament players didn't get to play golf.
“Even under very unique and challenging circumstances, we were able to pull off something pretty special this year,” said Matt Corbin, marketing director for the United Family and JPCC chairman in a press release. “The tenacity of this organization and their vendor partners to roll up their sleeves and ensure the United Way agencies depending on them were not disappointed was amazing to see. The tournament went on – even without the golf.”
This year, 28 organizations received the same donation as they did in the previous year. Since its beginning in 1991, the tournament has raised over $5 million for local charities. The United Family and JPCC chairman released a comment regarding the donations.
