The host charity of the SAS Championship is the YMCA of the Triangle, and in the 23 years of the event, over $5 million has been donated to area youth educational initiatives. Since the SAS Championship began supporting the YMCA of the Triangle’s academic programs, nearly 10,000 students have taken part in the program. The tournament annually contributes the single largest donation to the Y Learning Program.

This year, SAS will be creating a Hurricane Relief drive to support the YMCA's efforts to Western NC.

For those who prefer to make a financial contribution, the YMCA of the Triangle suggests the American Red Cross for Hurricane Helene relief. You can text HELENE to 90999 to donate. QR codes linking to the site will also be available near the 1st and 10th holes of the course and at the SAS Championship Fairway to Fun and Food Truck Friday family events on Friday, Oct. 11, from 4 to 8 p.m. You can also bring supplies to your local YMCA or the Fairway to Fun event. See below for requested relief supplies. Thank you for your contributions.

Join us at Prestonwood on October 11th from 4-8 PM for an AI-powered adventure. After donating to the hurricane relief effort, students and families can navigate through interactive AI and data-themed activities that demonstrate how tech is par for the course in everyday life. Complete all the challenges, spin the wheel for a prize, and refuel at one of Cary’s top food trucks. It’s a fun way to put your AI game and golf skills to the test!
