23 Years of Results | $65 Million for Charity
Jeff Sanders Promotions’ golf event management scorecard reflects more than 23 years of unparalleled results that includes more than 250 successful events. Here is an overview of some of our best rounds:

In JSP’s history, we have produced more than 250 golf events across the country and have been responsible for generating some $65 million for thousands of non-profit organizations.
The JSP-produced Albertsons Boise Open presented by Kraft is one of only four golf tournaments that have been part of the Nationwide Tour since its inception in 1990 and the only Nationwide Tour event to maintain the same title sponsor from the beginning. Nationwide Tour President Bill Calfee calls the Albertsons Boise Open presented by Kraft the “premier event” on the Nationwide Tour.
The Albertsons Boise Open presented by Kraft has raised more money for charity than any other event on the Nationwide Tour. The golf tournament celebrated its 20^th anniversary in 2009 by raising a record $1.2 million for non-profit organizations. In 2010 and 2011, the tournament again generated more than $1 million for charity each year, bringing the 22-year total to nearly $13 million.
The success of the Albertsons Boise Open presented by Kraft led to JSP being awarded a brand new Nationwide Tour event, the Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open presented by Planters, which debuted in October 2010 at TPC Sawgrass – home of the PGA TOUR and THE PLAYERS Championship — in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. The event generated more than $1.6 million for charity, a record amount for a first-year Nationwide Tour event. In 2011, the Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open presented by Planters surpassed the record-breaking amount raised in the event’s inaugural year and gave $1.8 million to charity.
The Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open presented by Planters is the successor to the Winn-Dixie Charity Classic. The Winn-Dixie Charity Classic generated $6 million for the Winn-Dixie Foundation and charities in the Southeast United States over the course of its four-year run.
JSP has generated $11.5 million for the SUPERVALU Foundation over the past 13 years through the SUPERVALU Minneapolis Charity Classic and its predecessor, the SUPERVALU Desert Classic in Scottsdale, AZ.
JSP has had similar success with the SUPERVALU Chicago Charity Classic, generating more than $8.7 million dollars for the SUPERVALU Foundation over the past 13 years.
JSP’s Albertson’s Team Championship, recently finished its 24th year on the air, is the most popular made-for-TV team golf competition in the US. The televised golf tournament currently airs on 18 affiliates in seven Western states, providing 500 hours of golf programming that are seen by more than 20 million viewers each season.
JSP managed all aspects of sales and execution for two USGA Golf Championships: The 96^th U.S. Amateur Championship, highlighted by Tiger Woods’ historic “three-peat” at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club; and the 52^nd US Women’s Open Championship, which was also held at Pumpkin Ridge and featured Annika Sorenstam’s pursuit of a first-ever three-peat in that major golf championship. Both championships drew record galleries and are recognized by the USGA as the most successful stagings of those events in their respective histories.
JSP created, introduced and manages the innovative and uniquely successful TICKETS Fore CHARITY™ program as a way to help our golf tournament title sponsors raise money for local non-profit organizations while also increasing attendance at their events. Non-profit organizations that participate in the program sell golf tournament tickets and retain 100% of the proceeds for their causes. In 2009, at the Nationwide Tour golf event in Boise, ID alone, the TICKETS Fore CHARITY program generated $904,000 for participating local charities. There are currently 16 golf tournaments on all four major tours – PGA TOUR, Nationwide Tour, Champions Tour and LPGA Tour – consulting with JSP to implement the TICKETS Fore CHARITY program for their golf events.
Through JSP-managed professional golf tournaments and charity golf events, as well as its TICKETS Fore CHARITY program and consulting services, JSP generated more than $5.9 million for non-profit organizations across the country in 2011.
