WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Nearly 2,000 volunteers contribute approximately 200,000 hours annually to make the Humana Challenge a success. Thanks to their efforts, the tournament has donated more than $50 million to local charities since its inception fifty-two years ago. As our tournament grows, the Humana Challenge continually relies on the support of new volunteers. If you are interested please CLICK HERE and complete the information request form.
