OUR CAUSE

YMCA OF THE TRIANGLE

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.

SAS CHAMPIONSHIP DRIVE TO READ

Reading well in the early grades predicts a child’s academic and career success. In 2023, SAS and the SAS Championship are partnering with the YMCA of the Triangle to continue to improve children’s literacy in the Triangle. Over the next few weeks, culminating in October, the Championship will promote and encourage attendees, volunteers, employees and supporters to donate age-appropriate books to support local Y Learning Programs. The campaign aims to collect 200 books to distribute to Y Learning participants across the Triangle. We invite you to join the cause.
