DULUTH, GA (July 23, 2025) – Tournament officials of the Mitsubishi Electric Classic presented by Vensure announced today that the 2025 tournament raised and donated $748,646.23 to various local charities through the Gwinnett Championship Foundation, Inc. Georgia’s only PGA TOUR Champions event has now donated more than $5.75 million to benefit Gwinnett County and Metro Atlanta area organizations since 2013.
“The Mitsubishi Electric Classic presented by Vensure is one of the premier stops on the PGA TOUR Champions, and we’re pleased to be able to use the impact of this event to make an impact in the local community,” said Mike Corbo, president and CEO of Mitsubishi Electric US Inc. “Our partnership with the tournament enables Mitsubishi Electric to assist meaningful organizations that are providing impactful service to their community. We’re proud of the work being done by these organizations in Gwinnett County and that we can do our part to support the good work they’re doing for others.”
This year, the Mitsubishi Electric Classic presented by Vensure selected Cink Charities and Special Needs Schools of Gwinnett as its primary charitable beneficiaries.
Founded in 2012, Cink Charities supports families, expectant parents and babies, empowering organizations that provide for each of these groups’ medical, emotional and spiritual needs. The Special Needs School of Gwinnett serves children and young adults with developmental, intellectual and physical disabilities through a PreK-12 school and adult day programming, initiatives that have seen significant growth in its 38 years of service.
Additionally, through its partnership with Folds of Honor, the tournament awarded over 17 scholarships to children of veterans and first responders. Thanks to our Birdies Fore Trees initiative, sponsored by Solvo and UCB, 7,900 trees were planted in collaboration with One Tree Planted.
“The Mitsubishi Electric Classic presented by Vensure’s impact can be felt long after tournament week’s end,” said Ashley Hamilton, Mitsubishi Electric Classic presented by Vensure senior tournament director. “On behalf of the Mitsubishi Electric Classic presented by Vensure, Gwinnett Championship Foundation and the Gwinnett Convention and Visitors Bureau, we extend our gratitude to the Greater Gwinnett community for their continued support of our nonprofit initiatives, and we are proud to contribute nearly $750,000 to our nonprofit beneficiaries.”
