PLAYERS opens grant program applications

Posted

THE PLAYERS Championship is now accepting applications for its annual Red Coats’ community grant program, which provides funding to eligible nonprofits in Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns counties.

The program awards local nonprofits with grants up to $15,000 to support initiatives and projects that benefit the Northeast Florida community. Grants are awarded to organizations supporting youth services, education, character development, health, wellness, sports and military support. Last year, the program awarded grants to 50 local nonprofits, advancing impactful community initiatives across Northeast Florida. 

Rusty Pritchett, captain of the Red Coats, expressed excitement about supporting the work of nonprofits across Northeast Florida, stating, “It is our honor to be able to fund so many deserving organizations in Northeast Florida. The Red Coats take great pride in contributing to initiatives that make a lasting impact in our community.”

The Red Coats are a group of local civic and corporate leaders who oversee the tournament’s volunteer efforts and serve as ambassadors of positive change in the community.
