Every year, thousands of avid golfers from across the U.S. converge on San Antonio to participate in the Valero Benefit for Children Golf Classic, the largest charity golf tournament connected with the PGA. The event raises millions of dollars for organizations that provide benefits to disadvantaged or disabled children. Valero employees nominate recipient charities, which are evaluated and selected by an all-employee committee. Though the event takes place in Texas, beneficiaries are from communities wherever Valero has major operations.
