Golf season has arrived in Connecticut and that means
the PGA TOUR is coming to town!

Each summer the Travelers Championship, Connecticut’s legendary PGA TOUR event, brings Connecticut residents an opportunity to be part of the action at an exciting professional sporting event, while giving back to the community at the same time, as 100% of net proceeds of the tournament are contributed to local charities. This year, you can get into the spirit of the Travelers Championship by participating in the BlumShapiro 5K for Charity at the Travelers Championship!


The event is a great way to support your community!

  • Entry Fee Donation: $5 of each entry fee will be donated to the race beneficiaries.
      
  • Pledges Per Participant: In addition, race participants are encouraged to collect sponsors to support the charities as well via an online donation system.  (Please see "How to Fundraise" section below for details.)

Community Food Drive at BlumShapiro 5K for Charity at Travelers Championship
  • Food Drive:  Also, in addition to funds raised through the race fees and sponsorships, the BlumShapiro 5K for Charity at the Travelers Championship will feature an on-site food drive to support these food pantries which are in need of nutritious food for our neighbors state-wide. We will collect various food items, including tuna, canned meats, canned fruit, peanut butter, canned vegetables, canned soups, etc.
All participants who bring a non-perishable food item will be entered to a drawing for great prizes, including tournament tickets and apparel, tickets to area events, gift certificates and more.
  
Join runners, walkers and plenty of golf fans by participating in the BlumShapiro 5K for Charity at the Travelers Championship to be held along the Cromwell roads that line the fairways and greens of TPC River Highlands and the spectacular new practice facility.  When the race is done, you can keep the action going!  All participants will be given one ticket valid for any one day admission to the Travelers Championship!
