About the Drew Brees Celebrity Championship

Since its inception in 1999, the Drew Brees Celebrity Championship, formerly known as the Celebrity Classic hosted by Stan Humphries, has raised more than $1 million on behalf of numerous San Diego-based charities. This year, a percentage of ticket sales, auction proceeds and sponsor sales from the Drew Brees Celebrity Championship will be donated to the Brees Dream Foundation and dispersed among San Diego non-profit organizations to support its ongoing efforts in San Diego. The Brees Dream Foundation distributed over $181,000 from monies raised at the 2011 Drew Brees Celebrity Championship to Rady Children’s Hospital, San Diego Armed Services YMCA, Friends of Scott Foundation, and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society – Pacific South Coast Chapter.
