The 2004 Booz Allen Classic begins a new era for one of the area's top
professional sporting events and its title sponsor - Booz Allen Hamilton Since
moving to the Washington area in 1980, the tournament has distributed nearly $8
million to charities, half to local Washington area charities. Beginning with
the 2004 Booz Allen Classic, tournament host Washington Golf Charities, a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 2003 to host the Booz Allen Classic,
and Booz Allen Hamilton have set a fund-raising goal of $1 million annually,
with 100 percent going to Washington area charities, more than quadrupling any
prior year's charitable giving to the local community.
KemperSports has operated the Tournament since 1979, when the Tournament
originated in Charlotte.
