Benefit for Children Resources
VTO Logo It's All About the Children


What began as a small golf tournament to benefit a San Antonio charity is today a nationwide effort to improve the lives of children.  The Valero Texas Open Benefit for Children Golf Classic has proudly delivered millions of dollars to children’s charities in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean since 2002.  Through our generous sponsors and business partners, Valero distributes their donations everywhere Valero has major operations.  The result is a network of strong, well supported agencies with the means to help thousands of disadvantaged, abused and neglected children.  The Valero Texas Open Benefit for Children Golf Classic is proud to partner with these agencies to make a lasting difference in children’s lives.

2010 Benefit for Children

The 2010 Valero Texas Open Benefit for Children Golf Classic, Valero's ninth annual charitable fundraiser focusing on children in need, is scheduled for
May 16-17 immediately following the Valero Texas Open.  This year's Benefit for Children will offer a whole new level of excitement, beginning with Sunday’s extraordinary Welcome Party at the fabulous new JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa, then continuing on Monday with morning and afternoon golf outings on some of San Antonio’s top courses, including both the Greg Norman and Pete Dye courses at the beautiful new TPC San Antonio, new home of the Valero Texas Open.  Don't miss out!  Send in your Sponsor Commitment Form today!
