The Ally Challenge presented by McLaren wins PGA TOUR 2024 Charity Challenge

GRAND BLANC, Mich. – The Ally Challenge presented by McLaren announced Thursday that the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Flint is the recipient of a $50,000 award. The non-profit organization received the funds Thursday at a special reception at their Club to celebrate the donation following The Ally Challenge’s first-place finish in the 2024 PGA TOUR Charity Challenge, a fantasy-style competition benefiting local charities.

The mission of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Flint is to enable all young people, especially those with the most need, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. They promote four core values: courage, character, excellence and inclusion.

“We are incredibly proud to award these charity funds to the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Flint,” said Erin Stone, director of business development and community engagement for The Ally Challenge presented by McLaren. “The PGA TOUR has always been committed to charities in the communities where they operate and serve, and this program provides another example of their philanthropic focus. These funds will make a great impact for youth in the area and it’s extremely rewarding for our tournament to be a part of this special gift.”

During the 2024 PGA TOUR season, as part of the PGA TOUR Charity Challenge, host organizations across the PGA TOUR, PGA TOUR Champions and Korn Ferry Tour had the opportunity to select a local charitable beneficiary with specific programs and services that address diversity, equity and inclusion in underserved or underrepresented communities.

Every week, the amount of FedExCup points each tournament’s nine-player fantasy-style roster earned was totaled, and the team with the highest total each week won a $3,000 contribution to its charitable beneficiary. Each team’s FedExCup points were counted throughout the 2024 PGA TOUR season. The team with the highest accumulation of points after the BMW Championship was crowned the season-long winner, earning the top prize of $50,000 for its charitable partner.

Twenty-three different host organizations earned additional dollars through weekly wins, and five larger donations were made on behalf of the top finishers in the season-long standings.

In addition to the first-place prize money, Boys & Girls Club of Greater Flint also received $12,000 through weekly winnings during the season, bringing the Club’s total 2024 Charity Challenge donation from the PGA TOUR on behalf of The Ally Challenge presented by McLaren to $62,000.

Since its inception in 2018, The Ally Challenge presented by McLaren has donated more than $7.3 million to support charity.
