The Barclays is once again proud to coordinate the TICKETS Fore CHARITY program as the tournament moves to Plainfield Country Club in Edison, NJ. This unique fundraising initiative allows charities to partner with The PGA TOUR to promote ticket sales to tournaments across the country. For every ticket purchased on behalf of a specific non-profit organization, 75% of the net proceeds benefit the promoting charity with the remaining 25% benefiting The First Tee of Metropolitan New York. In only the second year of the program in 2010, over 100 charities participated to raise $150,000 for the local non-profit community

TICKETS Fore CHARITY officially kicked off on Thursday April 7th and ticket sales have gone live.  The tickets available through this program are $50 weekly grounds tickets, 50% off the price to the general public!  For every ticket purchased, $37.50 will benefit your charity of choice.
