Cisco, Mizuno to Continue as Supporting Partners.
Bourbon, MO – On September 29, Imperial, through the Imperial Foundation, will release the third drop of the Charity Game Imperial Tour Visor®, benefitting First Tee, a nonprofit youth development organization supported by the PGA TOUR. This follows the tremendous success of the first two releases earlier this year, which sold out quickly and raised significant funds for the Nantz National Alzheimer Center and the Missouri Mental Health Foundation.
The Imperial Foundation was established to formalize Imperial’s longstanding tradition of giving back, with a mission to support causes that make a meaningful impact in the areas of health, youth development, and community growth. By directing proceeds from this initiative through the Foundation, Imperial ensures that funds reach organizations that align with its core values and help strengthen both local and national communities.
“The response to our first two Charity Game Visor releases showed us how passionate the golf community is about giving back,” said Jerry Biag, Director of Marketing at Imperial. “With the support of the Imperial Foundation, this next drop allows us to team up with Cisco to benefit First Tee and continue investing in the future of the game.”
“Cisco has been proud to support Keith Mitchell and First Tee for many years, and we’re excited to be part of the next chapter of the Charity Game Imperial Tour Visor® initiative,” said Mickey Ericson, Global Sponsorships Manager at Cisco. “We’re committed to supporting organizations that are driving positive change in the game of golf.”
PGA Tour Professional Keith Mitchell added “I’m grateful for the opportunity to support Imperial and give back to those who have supported me throughout my career. I’m proud to be part of this initiative to support these charities, including First Tee.”
