BJ’s Charitable Foundation Donates $10,000 to Network of Executive Women at Inaugural BJ’s Charity Championship Event

Thursday September 7th BJ’s Wholesale Club kicked off the Inaugural BJ’s Charity Championship event, at the Plymouth Country Club and Pinehills Golf Club.

The BJ’s Charity Championship was a two-day tournament with a Pro-Am on Thursday, September 7, at Pinehills Golf Club and a competitive marquee stop on The Legends Tour hosted on Friday, September 8, at The Ridge Club in Sandwich, MA. All proceeds go to the BJ's Charitable Foundation, which is committed to nourishing communities and helping families thrive.

Over the years, BJ's Charitable Foundation has raised nearly $25 million with this event to help families meet essential needs, such as access to education, wellness and quality food. This year was the first year BJ's expanded its championship to a two-day event—breaking the days into a day of professional golf with the LPGA, and a day for members of the community and pros alike to come play a round for a good cause.

The Charity Championship included two full days of activities including golf, cocktails, dinner and an awards program complete with raffle prizes donated by BJ’s Wholesale Club to give back to their event participants, and a donation of $10,000 to the Network of Executive Women for advancing women’s leadership presented by the Foundation. The LPGA Legends Tournament also benefitted local organizations including the Greater Boston Food Bank, Cape Kids Meals and the Sandwich Food Pantry in addition to the BJ’s Charitable Foundation. Professional LPGA Tour stars in attendance included Jane Blalock, Pat Bradley, Rosie Jones, and Michele Redman.
