Established in 2000, the event raises funds for charities supported by Realogy Corporation and PHH Mortgage. In just eight years, the event has distributed net proceeds of more than $3.3 million to charitable organizations, including contributions of $596,000 last year.

Proceeds raised this year will benefit the American Cancer Society, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Easter Seals, Food Bank of South Jersey, Habitat for Humanity, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and Samaritan Hospice.

"Realogy and PHH Mortgage are exceptionally proud of the many good works made possible by The Charity Golf Classic, and we applaud the ongoing generosity of our sponsors," said Richard A. Smith, president & CEO of Realogy Corporation. "We have seen firsthand how our collective contribution to these organizations has benefited so many deserving individuals, and we have a strong drive to continue making a world of difference."

This year's event features a trio of professionals, including Hale Irwin, whose total of 20 PGA Tour victories includes three U.S. Open titles in 1974, 1979 and 1990 – he has since won a record 45 tournaments on the Champions Tour and is now actively involved in golf course design; Suzy Whaley, an award-winning player and teaching professional who in 2003 became the first woman to qualify and participate in a PGA Tour event since Babe Zaharias in 1945; and Kevin Hall, a former Big Ten champion from Ohio State who in 2005 became the first deaf person to play in a PGA Tour event and is currently competing on the NGA Hooters Tour. These three professionals will co-host a golf clinic in the morning, participate in the tournament and assist with the live charity auction that evening.

Among the many items that will be auctioned off to support this event are: premier vacation trips, exclusive dinners, jewelry, electronics and a wide range of autographed sports memorabilia, including special items signed by Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
