Wendy's involvement and participation in this event has allowed us to “give something back” to Michigan and the Toledo area that so very few ever consider on a daily basis. Hundreds of children now live in loving homes and have a real chance to be a successful part of society because of the success of the event. We are honored to have such tremendous support from the companies listed below and so many more.

Dr Pepper is very fortunate to have Wendy's as an integral part of our overall business and Stanton & Associates plays a key role in Dr Pepper's success within the Wendy's system. As a partner in business and in the local community, we see the benefits of supporting adoption. I've seen first hand the impact that the Wendy's Charity Classic & Wendy's Wonderful Kids adoption program has on the lives of these children. Stanton & Associates does a tremendous job involving their suppliers and the entire Jackson community in helping this wonderful cause. Over the last 10 years, Dr Pepper has contributed over $100,000 to this event thru sponsorships and auction prizes. This is just one way of supporting one of our key business partners in making a difference in the lives of kids in need of a loving family. Thank you for allowing us to participate in this tremendous charitable event.

Alro Steel is proud to be a part of the Wendy's Charity Classic each year in Jackson, Michigan. Alro enjoys working with a Jackson native and LPGA Legends member, Elaine Crosby, who has been instrumental in bringing the event to Michigan.

Having been a corporate sponsor and player in the event all 10 years, I have become acutely aware of the phenomenal impact adoption has on children. We have raised over $1.5 million, increased adoption awareness, and found loving homes for hundreds of young boys and girls. Participating in the Wendy's Charity Classic has given me an opportunity to make a life changing difference in the lives of others.

Henny Penny is proud to have supported the Wendy’s Charity Classic for many years. It is a fantastic event serving a critical need - every child deserves a loving home.  This tournament is helping make that happen for kids in Michigan. The golf is wonderful, the food is delicious, and the pros are amazing - but nothing compares to hearing directly from some of the children who have found their forever families. Their stories are proof that we can make a difference.

At FOX47, we do not believe in having clients. The philosophy with our station is having partners. Wendy’s, specifically Stanton and Associates, has been a true partner to FOX47 for well over 10 years. With this partnership philosophy, we believe what is important to our partners is also important to us. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind how important the Wendy’s Charity Classic and Challenge are to the Stanton organization and therefore is important to FOX47 as well. We’re very proud to partner with Stanton and Associates in supporting the Wendy’s Charity Classic and Challenge. In our 10 years of media support to this crucial charity, we’ve seen the tremendous effect this event has had on the lives of children in Michigan and their future families. To know our station may have had a part in bringing a forever family to even one child is an amazing feeling. Here’s to a continued partnership for years to come with the creation of more forever families than we could imagine.

Many people in the Flagstar family have been personally blessed with the joy brought by adoption. There's no better way to help others than by supporting the adoption process, thereby giving more people the joy of that experience.
