LA QUINTA, Calif. (December 18, 2025) – The Impact Through Golf Foundation, the host organization and charitable foundation for The American Express®, is proud to celebrate two charities who put the donations they received from this past year’s tournament into action.
The F.I.N.D. Food Bank recently opened The Impact Through Golf Foundation/The American Express® Workforce Development Training Center in the Coachella Valley. This facility will help F.I.N.D. Food Bank continue to distribute food to those in need within the region. In 2024, the organization distributed 28 million pounds of food to 120,000 people across 175 distribution sites. The new center will assist F.I.N.D. Food Bank in keeping up with this demand and ultimately help the organization expand their reach to more individuals who need assistance.
“This facility is living proof of what we can accomplish together,” said Frank Marzano, the Chairman of The Impact Through Golf Foundation.
“We are so thankful that this incredible organization continues to help and serve the lives of so many in this area.”
The Boys & Girls Club of Cathedral City held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for The Impact Through Golf Foundation/The American Express Intergenerational Garden. This new garden will give members and their parents the opportunity to learn techniques, healthy eating, how to protect Mother Nature, and how to adequately plant fruits and vegetables.
“The Impact Through Golf Foundation/The American Express Intergenerational Garden combines the skills and knowledge of the past and present, while teaching youth how to grow, nurture, and harvest. What an exciting opportunity these individuals now have,” added Pat McCabe, the tournament director of The American Express®.
With the holiday season in full swing, The American Express® and The Impact Through Golf Foundation are proud to see their charitable contributions positively impact the community. All the proceeds that are donated on an annual basis stem from ticket sales at the prior year’s tournament.
Now that the 2026 The American Express® is right around the corner, the holiday season is an ideal time to purchase tickets for a family member, friend, or colleague. A day at The American Express® makes for a perfect present.
Friday and Saturday feature The 2026 American Express® Concert Series. A Friday ticket guarantees entry to see country-music sensation Old Dominion perform live on the driving range after play concludes. Should you buy a Saturday ticket, your entry includes access to see world-renowned OneRepublic rock the stage following the end of play. Best of all, your ticket ultimately helps support those in need.
