Fundraising History
The Toshiba Classic is the charitable leader on the Champions Tour. It has been under Hoag management for 10 successful years.
The Toshiba Classic has raised more than $10.1 million for more than 20 different charities--the most on the entire Champions Tour.
Those funds have made a significant impact on the local community. The primary beneficiary of the tournament is Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, a nationally acclaimed hospital that brings world-class healthcare to the community. The tournament also sponsors the Toshiba Classic Scholarship Fund, which has donated over $137,000 in scholarships and 74 Toshiba laptop computers over seven years to some of Orange County's high school elite.
These remarkable charitable accomplishments are a testament to the generous support of the Toshiba Classic's sponsors, and the tireless efforts of its more than 900 volunteers.

552 Club Background
The Toshiba Classic is backed by the resources of Hoag Hospital Foundation's 552 Club, the oldest and largest support group of Hoag Hospital.
The 552 Club is a community-based support group of volunteers and donors dedicated to promoting and financially supporting Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian. The 552 Club has raised funds for construction of the Patty & George Hoag Cancer Center, construction of Hoag Heart and Vascular Institute's Cardiac Outpatient Center, expansion and renovation of the emergency care unit, renovation of the operating room and addition of a computerized patient care information system. The club also accomplished a five-year goal of raising $10 million toward the Hoag Women's Pavilion, which is now known as the Sue & Bill Gross Women's Pavilion.
Since its founding in 1966, the 552 Club has raised more than $15 million for Hoag Hospital. The grand tradition of philanthropy envisioned by the club's founders is still in place today, as is the original annual membership fee of $100.
