Boca Raton, FL – The TimberTech Championship is pleased to announce that for the second consecutive year, a $400,000 donation has been made to the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation, part of Baptist Health South Florida. The money was raised through the TimberTech Championship, a PGA TOUR Champions playoff event held last November in Boca Raton.
“At TimberTech/AZEK, developing relationships and positively impacting the communities in which we operate and serve are core to who we are,” said Amanda Cimaglia, Vice President, ESG & Corporate Affairs for The AZEK Company, parent company of TimberTech. “Through the TimberTech Championship and the donations made, we aim to make a meaningful impact on the people and communities of Boca Raton, creating a healthier, brighter and more sustainable future for all.”
The donation to the hospital is part of the more than $527,000 given to nonprofits this year from the Championship. Overall, the TimberTech Championship has donated more than $3 million to the Boca Raton Regional Hospital and other local charities since the championship’s inception.
“We are proud of what we have raised for the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation and other local charities,” said Ken Kennerly, Co-Executive Director of the TimberTech Championship. “We are very excited about the future of the tournament and our continued partnership with the Boca Raton Regional Hospital.”
A majority of the $3 million received from the TimberTech Championship has been directed to the Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute, part of the Boca Raton Regional Hospital. The Women’s Health & Wellness Institute, which opened in 2015, serves 65,000 women a year.
“It’s all about having a health-care that is strong, state-of-the-art and provides the best possible care to everyone who needs it,” said Mark Larkin, President of the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation. “The TimberTech Championship not only has raised more than $3 million for our hospital, it also has raised awareness about what we do for our community.”
Among the top stars expected to play in the TimberTech Championship are defending champion and all-time PGA TOUR Champions wins leader Bernhard Langer, a Boca Raton resident and Hall of Famer who is the tournament’s only three-time winner; Hall of Famers Ernie Els, Retief Goosen and Colin Montgomerie; reigning Charles Schwab Cup champion Steven Alker, the 2021 TimberTech Championship winner; and former major champions Padraig Harrington, Darren Clarke, David Toms, Justin Leonard, Stewart Cink, Y.E. Yang, Mike Weir, Lee Janzen and Vijay Singh.
The 2023 TimberTech Championship will return to the Old Course at the Broken Sound Club, Nov. 3-5.
