The golf tournament contributes 100 percent of net proceeds to more than 130 local charities including The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, which provides camp experiences for children suffering from cancer and other serious diseases.
This is the fifth year Travelers has been title sponsor of the event.
The 2012 Travelers Championship will be held June 18 – 24 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn.
