The Golf Humana Challenge, formerly known and the Bob Hope Classic has donated over 52 million dollars in the last 53 years. Over 2 million dollars were donated this year to 40 local charities which is a record amount. Charities are struggling during this down economy and these monies are greatly appreciated to continue much needed programs.
