\u201cSupporting the communities we serve has always been at the heart of our mission, and for 35 years, the Jacky Pierce Charity Classic has been an important part of that commitment,\u201d said Sidney Hopper, president of The United Family. \u201cThe nonprofit organizations that benefit from this tournament, including United Way, provide critical services that strengthen our communities. We are proud to support their work and know these funds will make a meaningful difference in the lives of thousands of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pierce\u2019s legacy continues<\/p>\n
