Chubb’s Annual Charity Golf Tournament Reaches $8-Million Mark

WARREN, The 2009 annual Chubb Charity Challenge raised in excess of $840,000, bringing the golf tournament’s decade-long contributions to charities across the United States and Canada to more than $8 million.

“During an especially challenging year for raising money, Chubb and its agents and brokers continued to provide valuable support to our local charities and communities,” said Harold Morrison, executive vice president and chief global field officer, The Chubb Corporation.

Following 44 regional tournaments from May to August, 44 foursomes of agents and customers recently competed for a purse of $550,000 during the national Chubb Charity Challenge championship at Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, NC. Wells Fargo Insurance Services Inc. of Charlotte, NC, took home the first-place prize of $50,000, which was donated to Camp Harrison, in Herring Ridge, NC. Camp Harrison, a branch of the YMCA of Greater Charlotte, is dedicated to the spiritual and moral growth of campers.
