The Toshiba Classic is the largest and most exciting annual event in Orange County. Each year, 150 sponsors, 1,000 volunteers and 85,000 spectators support the Toshiba Classic, providing the means for a tournament that produces record earnings for charity. The Toshiba Classic has become a tradition in the Orange County community.
Hoag Charity Sports, a supporting organization of Hoag Hospital Foundation, produces the Toshiba Classic and the profits from the Toshiba Classic benefit Hoag’s Centers of Excellence and other local charities.
The tournament generates over $1,000,000 for charity annually, and our 17 year total exceeds $17 million. Beginning with the 2011 tournament, proceeds have benefited the Mary & Dick Allen Diabetes Center at Hoag. The mission of the Allen Diabetes Center is to make a difference by improving the quality of life for all people with diabetes or at risk of diabetes, through prevention, early detection, prompt care, education and support. In addition to Hoag, tournament proceeds have also been contributed to more than 45 other charities. The Toshiba Classic Scholarship Program has provided over $249,000 in scholarships and support to local schools and over $400,000 worth of Toshiba laptops to deserving local high schools and seniors.
