THE PLAYERS Championship Gifts $1 Million to Feeding Northeast Florida
On July 10, 2025, Feeding Northeast Florida (FNEFL) announced a $1 million gift from THE PLAYERS Championship, supporting the recently launched THE PLAYERS Center for Nutrition Security and Community Solutions, which was named in recognition of the gift.
The center’s dedication took place yesterday afternoon at the food bank’s headquarters, where representatives from THE PLAYERS, including Executive Director Lee Smith, and volunteer leadership from THE PLAYERS, joined FNEFL staff, volunteers and friends to celebrate the momentous commitment to the food bank’s mission of ending hunger in Northeast Florida. The event concluded with a volunteer opportunity where representatives sorted non-perishable goods in the warehouse for distribution.
