Charity: Camp Korey

The official beneficiary of The Korey at the Washington Open is Camp Korey, a special place dedicated to kids who are dealing with life threatening illnesses. Through the pro-am sponsorships and teams, our 2010 event alone helped raise over $230,000. Our goal is to raise more than $500,000 annually to support the work of this great organization. In 2011 we met that goal of raising $500,000 for Camp Korey. For more information on Camp Korey go to www.campkorey.org.
