TYLER – The 29th annual Brookshire’s Benefit Golf Tournament raised a record-breaking $550,000 for charities on Monday, with 600 golfers playing simultaneously on six East Texas golf courses. Tyler-area courses were The Cascades, Eagles Bluff, Garden Valley, Hollytree and Willow Brook, and Twin Lakes in Canton was also a course location. Brookshire Grocery Company disperses tournament proceeds each year to more than 100 nonprofit organizations in the communities served by Brookshire’s, Super 1 Foods and Spring Market stores. The company focuses its charitable giving on hunger relief, education, family wellbeing, and military/first responders. This year’s donation brings the total funds raised to more than $5 million since the tournament’s inception in 1988.
