Where Every Golf Invitational Entry Fee Is A Winning Donation For Nonprofits

Each two-person team selects one nonprofit they'll represent during the golf event. First Business Bank covers all expenses, so entry fees become the prize money that winning charities earn based on each team's golf performance. The better each team plays, the more their chosen nonprofit can win. Since 2011, these two annual golf events have generated more than $1 million for more than 80 nonprofits through this competitive format that puts every swing to work for causes that matter most to our golfers. 

Discover the stories behind the nonprofits, golfers, and communities impacted by these events—and see how a friendly round of golf has created lasting change for organizations across our footprint.
