The Price Cutter Charity Championship presented by Hiland Dairy (PCCC) is your chance to see the PGA’s future greats playing to give local kids great futures. Since its start in 1990, the tournament has raised more than $19.4 million for children’s charities across the Ozarks. While there will not be a tournament in 2026, the PCCC will continue to host several exciting community events and the annual TLC Properties Truck Raffle—all supporting local kids.

Bass Pro Shops Fitness Series

We partner with a variety of organizations throughout the Ozarks to bring these activities to our area and to serve local charities. The Fitness Series is sponsored by Bass Pro Shops and other local, regional and national businesses, but proceeds from all of our events go back to local charities. Volunteers help make these donations possible as well; every hour of volunteer time results in a $10 donation to charity.

Our events provide many opportunities for volunteer participation and even offer volunteer leadership roles. From preparation opportunities like putting together race packets for participants, organizing materials and participant amenities, to race day experiences such as running aid stations on the course, working the finish line and creating a positive experience for participants and spectators, there are so many ways for you to be involved! We want to positively impact you as a volunteer as well!

Many of our volunteers return year after year to their favorite events and have become part of our key volunteer team. Please consider this chance to help people achieve their goals and bring your friends and family with you!
