PGA Tour Champions has selected Variety — the Children’s Charity of Iowa as its 2018 Charity of the Year. Variety, which is an official tournament charity partner of the Principal Charity Classic, will receive a $30,000 donation from PGA Tour Champions. The donation will be used to help fund the construction of the inclusive Variety Star Playground at Riverview Park, which will be Des Moines’ second park with adaptive equipment for children with special needs. Variety advocates for and improves the lives of children throughout Iowa who are at risk, underprivileged, critically ill or growing up with special needs. The annual PGA Tour Champions event in Des Moines has raised more than $17.7 million to help Iowa kids since 2007. Last year, the tournament touched the lives of more than 130,000 children statewide.
