Revenue From ShopRite LPGA Classic Ticket Sales Will Benefit Charities

Those purchasing tickets in advance can choose which charity they want their sale to benefit.

Residents from Galloway Township and the surrounding area who attend the ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer will be able to choose a charity to receive 100 percent of the revenue from their ticket as long as they are purchased in advance, tournament officials announced Wednesday morning, Jan. 30.

Tickets are now on sale through www.ShopRiteLPGAClassic.com or by calling the tournament office at 609-798-0222, tournament officials said. Ticket purchasers can choose which one of the 20 charities they want their advance ticket sale to benefit, and the list of charities is available here.

“Charitable giving is a significant and important component of our tournament efforts,” ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer Executive Director Tim Erensen said. “Thanks to the tremendous support of ShopRite, and all of our corporate partners, we are able to continue this tradition of giving to organizations that need assistance in our community.”
