Charitable Organizations

Monterey Peninsula Foundation (MPF) is the nonprofit organization that stages the annual AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, raising over $100 million for charity from this event since 1937.

In 1937, Bing Crosby invited a group of friends to get together for some golf, a clambake and, most importantly, to raise a little money for the local charities… the rest is history.

Since that time, the tournament, now known as the
AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, has become one of the most internationally recognized stops on the PGA TOUR, and the Monterey Peninsula Foundation’s grant programs continue to support hundreds of nonprofit organizations.
