MEMPHIS, Tennessee – FedEx St. Jude Championship tournament officials and representatives from FedEx and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® announced today the charitable impact funds generated from the 2021 World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, which surpassed $8.6 million.

FedEx St. Jude Championship Executive Director Joe Tomek, joined by Richard C. Shadyac Jr., President and CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Jack Sammons, General Chairman, Youth Programs, Inc., made the announcement during a preview event for the 2022 championship at TPC Southwind.

With the 2021 event impact figure, Memphis’ PGA TOUR stop has now raised more than $60 million since 1970 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food so they can focus on helping their child live.
