Masked by the excitement and energy surrounding the best players in the game battling the Bear Trap and 85,000+ spectators enjoying the action and entertainment is our true mission - GIVING BACK TO THE CHILDREN OF OUR COMMUNITY! While we strive to provide Palm Beach County with a premier professional sporting event, our ultimate goal is to positively impact youth in need. With many thanks to all those who were a part of making the 2008 Honda Classic a success, the event was responsible for over $600,000 in charitable contributions bringing our total to over $16 million since the event's inception.

The mission of the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation is to provide charitable support for activities that advance and enhance the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of childhood diseases and disorders. The Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation also supports not-for-profit programs and projects aimed at pediatric health care and health-related services.
