“The McDonald’s LPGA Championship has become a special event that combines our extraordinary fascination with the game of golf and being able to enthusiastically circle this date every year on our calendar. But what makes the Championship unique is that our efforts and all proceeds benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities. Through our involvement we are able to help raise funds to improve the lives of children and their families less fortunate than we are. The Coca-Cola Company has been part of the McDonald’s LPGA Championship since it was founded in 1981 when Herb Lotman and Frank Quinn had a vision that the McDonald’s system could deliver a first class golf fundraising event. Little did they know then that their dream would become one of professional golf’s most prestigious tournaments, hosting the top women golfers from around the world while at the same time raising over $46 million for Ronald McDonald House Charities. We admire all that this event has accomplished and we salute the staff and volunteers that have helped to make it happen for the past 28 years. We remain truly in awe of the partnerships, friendships and the power of McDonald’s “3 Legged Stool” all working together to achieve such an exemplary goal.”

“The truth is the tour players are exciting to watch, possess amazing skills and they make the annual rite of spring something we all look forward to very much. The ladies on the tour are fabulous ambassadors, patient teachers, and overall lots and lots of fun. The tournament is run like a Swiss watch, but it’s run by people that have fun doing a labor of love that probably takes them all year to recover from. The sad truth is no matter what happens next it’ll never be the same.”

It is a unique opportunity to spend time with many friends from across the McDonald’s system, support our favorite charity, and play golf with a great group of athletes from the LPGA.

“ARC International has been supporting the McDonalds LPGA Championship for close to 10 years. We feel that this is our way to give back to McDonald’s for their continued support of ARC as a supplier. The event itself is very enjoyable and we have found that the treatment given to the sponsors is outstanding and is probably why so many of the sponsors have continued with their support year in and year out. We wish to congratulate McDonald’s Corporation, the LPGA, and all of the other sponsors who have supported this ongoing successful event for Ronald McDonald House Charities."
