The Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give concluded with a win by Canada’s Brooke Henderson and a donation commitment of $1.1 million to the retailer’s Simply Give program that stocks the shelves of its food pantry partners across the Midwest. Henderson was also the tournament’s 2017 champion. 
“The Meijer LPGA Classic has made an incredible impact on our hungry neighbors. Thanks to the ongoing support from our community, we exceeded our $1 million goal for this year’s tournament,” Meijer President & CEO Rick Keyes said in a statement.
The 2019 Meijer LPGA Classic was the 6th annual tournament benefiting the Meijer Simply Give program. The six tournaments have generated $5.2 million for food pantries across the Midwest to feed hungry neighbors.
Meijer started Simply Give in November 2008 and has since generated nearly $49 million for its food pantry partners. The $1.1 million donation this year will be divided among 246 food pantry partners participating in the spring Simply Give campaign.
