Nonprofits receive $525K through Price Cutter Charity Championship event

A year after the same event was canceled due to lack of funds, the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame presented checks totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars to children's charities at the Celebration of Sharing portion of the Price Cutter Charity Championship.

The total issued at the Celebration of Sharing event, held yesterday at Highland Springs Country Club, was $525,206. That brings the PCCC total fundraising to nearly $21.8 million over a 36-year period.

"The community showed up," said Rob Marsh, MSHOF president and CEO. "We've proven our resilience this year."

Myriad representatives of the 31 participating nonprofits then lined up to accept their checks.

The Celebration of Sharing marks the culmination of the annual PCCC, which this year was held July 17-20 at Highland Springs. 

In September, however, the MSHOF announced the PCCC had been canceled in 2026 due to a scheduling conflict, according to past reporting. Officials have not ruled out a return for the tournament in 2027. 

The total awarded to nonprofits from PCCC this year did not include the buy-in required to benefit from the tournament. Marsh told SBJ that he plans to do away with that model for future charitable events.

At the Celebration of Sharing event yesterday, the MSHOF unveiled Price Cutter Cares presented by Hiland Dairy, the new name for multiple charity fundraisers in the works for 2026 in lieu of the golf tournament.

"The mission is bigger than the tournament," Marsh said.

The Celebration of Sharing event in 2024 was canceled, with officials citing "a challenging time in fundraising," according to past reporting. 

Marsh was brought on to lead the MSHOF as details trickled out about hundreds of thousands of dollars owed to children's charities from the 2024 tournament. 

At the event yesterday, Marsh said the MSHOF would be entering 2026 debt-free.
