Chubb has kicked off the 19th annual Chubb Charity Challenge golf tournament. The tournament raises money for local charities across North America.

For the last 19 years, Chubb brokers, agents and clients have played in regional tournaments on behalf of their selected charities in hopes of advancing to the national tournament, where teams can win more than $50,000 for their selected organization. This year’s national finals will take place Oct. 28-30 at Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina.

“The Chubb Charity Challenge has been a proud Chubb tradition for many years, said John Lupica, vice chairman of Chubb Group and president of North America major accounts and specialty insurance. “This type of event is a reflection of Chubb’s values and reinforces our commitment to giving back to the communities and organizations we serve, as well as to support he important causes that make a meaningful impact in people’s lives.”

Last year’s tournament raised close to $1 million. The Bankers Insurance, which won the event, donated its winnings to EDMARC Hospice for Children, a care facility in the Hampton Roads, Va., area.

Since 2000, more than 5,200 teams have participated in the tournament, raising nearly $15 million for more than 6,000 charities.
