Post date August 22, 2020

The Cameron Champ Foundation Golf Classic will be held on Monday, Oct. 5, at the Silverado Resort & Spa in Napa, California.

Our players, sponsors and their invited guests will be treated to a fun-filled day that will conclude with hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. (The 2020 post-golf events will likely have to be modified due to health and safety guidelines in Napa County. We are in constant communication with the resort and will do our best to finish the day on a high note, while ensuring we create a safe environment for everyone.)

We welcome the opportunity to work with you in tailoring a package that best suits your company’s needs and brand image.

Golf Magazine Tells the Story of Cam’s ‘Charitable Heart’

Post author By Charlie Hanger
Post date July 17, 2020

Seeing Cameron on the cover of the July/August 2020 issue of Golf Magazine with the headline “Rocket Man” was exciting, and his tips for increasing swing speed were spot on, but we were far more inspired by this headline: “Here’s why there’s no separating Cameron Champ the golfer and the giver.”

Cameron talks in great detail about his relationship with his grandfather Mack, his dedication to our Foundation, the Champ family’s involvement with Foothill Golf Course, the Mack Champ Invitational, and much more.

“Our main focus is mentorship and schooling,” he said of our Foundation. “We give them somewhere to go to have fun with other kids, to get help with homework and to play. Golf and other sports are part of it, but not all of it.”

We are very sorry to announce the postponement of the Mack Champ Invitational, but the health and safety of our junior golfers and their families, as well as that of the broader community, is the most important thing on our minds.

Our mission to level the playing field in golf remains the same, and we are actively monitoring the situation and looking for a time to reschedule the tournament.

The new Grandpa Mack polo from Nike Golf represents a silhouette of the first known picture of Cameron Champ’s late grandfather playing golf, and it serves as a tribute to his life journey, quest for equality, passion for golf and the way he gave of himself to others.

Cameron is wearing this polo to honor #PapaChamp at the Genesis Invitational, and you can get one too on Nike.com. In celebration of Black History Month, 100% of the contributions will go to the Cameron Champ Foundation and our work to inspire the next generation of athletes, just like Grandpa Mack did for Cameron.

Check out the video below to learn more about the inspiration behind the shirt.

Mackray Champ, who introduced his grandson to the game and predicted years ago that Cameron would make the PGA Tour, passed away on Oct. 21, 2019. Here’s a wonderful tribute from Cameron and the Golf Channel.

A role model, mentor, and the greatest grandfather I could have ever asked for. You taught me life lessons I couldn’t have learned from anyone else. To be loving, caring, selfless and to have the ability to persevere through any obstacle that’s in front of you. You opened my mind to a lot of things this past month, that life itself is the greatest gift we were all given. That you always set out to do what’s right and to do what you truly believe in. The perspective I now have on life couldn’t have happened without you and I will always be appreciative of that and carry on your legacy forever. Give grandma a big kiss for me! Love you Pops! RIP 10-21-2019

To realize our ambitious goals, however, we are going to need help. We are looking for volunteers to serve as STEM teachers, golf and baseball instructors, mentors, tutors and more. If you have expertise in any field you think might help, from golf course maintenance to fundraising/events, we would love to hear from you.

To put your hand up, fill out this form and we will be in touch.
