In the absence of ticket sales, the Sanderson Farms Championship is finding a new way to raise money for the children at Blair E. Batson Children�s Hospital.�
Through the �All in For Children�s� campaign, the golf tournament, held at the Country Club of Jackson, is encouraging fans to donate in the form of ordering a custom mask featuring the logos of the championship and the children�s hospital. According to a news release, all proceeds from the masks sales will go towards Children�s to make up for lost revenue from ticket sales and other events typically held throughout the week.
�Our hope is that this campaign will create a tangible sense of community engagement throughout the state for the Sanderson Farms Championship,��said Joe F. Sanderson, Jr., Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Sanderson Farms.��Most importantly, we want to raise the dollars donated to Batson Children�s Hospital that the 175,000 children treated there annually depend on each year.�
Fans can also participate by posting photos or videos while wearing the masks with the hashtag #AllInForChildrens.
In 2019, the�Sanderson Farms Championship�presented a record-breaking $1.3 million donation to�Friends of Children�s Hospital, the fundraising arm for Batson Children�s Hospital.
�The mission of this event has always been to raise money for our state�s only hospital dedicated solely to the care and treatment of Mississippi�s children,� Sanderson said. �While this year�s tournament will look different, we are excited to provide new opportunities for the community to be involved and give back.�
The 2020 Sanderson Farms Championship will be held from October 1 – 4 with 100% of proceeds going directly to charity.
