Foremost, BCCC annually makes charitable donations to those Civic Organizations which assist in the operation of the DICK’S Sporting Goods Open.  Additionally, BCCC has been instrumental in intermittent community projects such as the remodeling of the former Boys & Girls Club of Western Broome and the building of a Community Meeting Hall at the Endicott Visitor’s Center.

Broome County Community Charities, Inc. is proud to have donated over $802,000 in 2019.These contributions are a result of partnerships with DICK’S Sporting Goods, PGA TOUR Inc., and the Champions Tour Players.  Additional proceeds are derived from the DICK’S Sporting Goods Open and The Walk to Defeat ALS.
