Andrade-Faxon Charities gives $304K in 2021 – over $7.5million in 30 years
Billy Andrade – Brad Faxon Charities for Children accepted 78 grant applications and chose 50 area charities to receive a grant for year 2021. Andrade-Faxon Charities started gifting grants to children’s charities in 1991. Proceeds were raised by holding celebrity golf tournaments from 1991 – 2005, and from generous donors, every year since.
“It has been an amazing journey since we started the Andrade-Faxon Charities for Children 30 years ago. Helping children in need in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts has been our mission from day one. We could not have done this without generous leadership and support from our board and so many others. I am very proud to continue this mission today”, stated Billy Andrade.
Brad Faxon and Billy Andrade are currently playing golf professionally on the PGA Tour Champions, a men’s professional senior golf tour, administered as a branch of the PGA Tour.
Billy and Brad have granted a total of $7,526,139.38 to 250 unique non-profit organizations, since inception. To donate or learn more about Andrade-Faxon Charities visit www.andradefaxoncharities.org
