Over $600,000 has been given to local agencies!

During our first 20 years, over $600,000 has been distributed to various charities in Ontario County. The money has been used to establish new programs, reach out to new segments of the community, or as 'start-up' money for completely new projects. In every instance, the proceeds from the Ontario Charities Classic have been used in ways that have made a difference to the people in our own neighborhoods.

Charity Recipients

Ontario Charities Classic has funded many exciting projects and worthwhile programs, including:

The YMCA's of Canandaigua, Clifton Springs, and Geneva--Our 'cornerstone' agencies. Annually, each YMCA uses OCC funds to buy new equipment, provide membership and program 'scholarships', to fund capital projects, and more.
