Travelers Championship^®: Our Signature Community Event

The Travelers Championship^® golf tournament is a PGA TOUR Signature Event, and it showcases how our company and employees maintain a strong commitment to the communities in which we live and work. The event features four days of competition by the world’s best professional golfers and attracts tens of thousands of fans to Connecticut each year, on top of being broadcast to more than 200 countries.

What aligns the tournament so closely to Travelers’ culture and purpose is the profound impact it has on the community. All net proceeds from the Travelers Championship benefit charities throughout the region. Since Travelers became title sponsor in 2007, the tournament has generated more than $35 million to support over 1,000 local charities. In 2025, the tournament generated more than $4 million for 245 local charities, including the primary beneficiary, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, which provides medically supervised summer camps and programs free of charge to children with serious illnesses and their families.

The Travelers Championship has also given many other important causes a platform that helps bring awareness to their organizations and funds to their bottom lines. Examples include:

• Community Renewal Team (CRT), a community action agency that increases access to education, affordable housing, mental health services and much more for thousands of individuals and families throughout Central Connecticut each year, helping them take steps toward healthy and economically stable futures.
• Shepard Meadows Equestrian Center, a farm that supports the growth and overall well-being of all individuals, including those with special needs, by providing equine-assisted services in a safe, caring and professional environment.
• CJK Foundation, a nonprofit organization named in memory of Connie Joan Sienkowski Klanica that is dedicated to creating positive change and hope in the darkest of times for those who suffer from depression and mental illness by advocating for awareness, supporting patients undergoing treatment and their families, and raising funds for research.
• APK Charities, a charitable organization founded in memory of Captain Andrew Pedersen-Keel that raises awareness and provides support for active, retired, wounded and fallen warriors and their families, while also giving financial aid and material assistance to charitable organizations and causes.

Volunteering at the Travelers Championship provides employees with a unique opportunity to invest time in the local community alongside their colleagues, while being part of one of the PGA TOUR’s Signature Events. Travelers employees are highly engaged with the event and contributed approximately 21,000 volunteer hours for the Travelers Championship in 2025. In fact, the company’s employees comprise nearly half of the tournament’s volunteers. Volunteering not only allows Travelers employees to go behind the scenes at the only annual PGA TOUR stop in the Northeast, but it also allows them to have a direct impact on the amount of charity dollars the tournament pours back into the community each year.

Additionally, the Travelers Championship has a tradition of celebrating and recognizing our country’s military heroes. The event has offered several benefits, including free admission for U.S. military members, veterans and their immediate family and access to the Patriots’ Outpost, a hospitality venue with free food and beverages.

Finally, in addition to the positive impacts the Travelers Championship has on our communities, those who watch the Travelers Championship walk away with a greater familiarity with and improved impression of Travelers, and ultimately give the brand additional consideration.
