Charity
Since 1999 northern Nevada charities have benefited to the tune of more than $1.7 milllion dollars thanks to the goodwill and community outreach of the Reno-Tahoe Open Foundation.
Legends at Sparks Marina Reno-Tahoe Open Tournament Director Michael Stearns noted, "Giving back is the number one mission of the PGA TOUR and the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open. As the tournament continues to grow northern Nevada charites are directly impacted. The community has been wonderful in supporting the tournament from the beginning and it's all made possible by the contributions from our sponsors, enthusiastic fans and our dedicated volunteers."
