Annual Golf Tournament for Employee Support Fund
 

Monday, October 28, 2024, marked Hershey Entertainment & Resorts‘ (HE&R) 17th Employee Support Fund (ESF) Golf Tournament. 

Established by HE&R team members in 2003, the ESF is a tax-exempt, independent, nonprofit organization that provides immediate, short-term financial assistance to eligible team members experiencing financial hardship from an unexpected event such as a medical emergency or home damage from a natural disaster or fire. Team members contribute to the ESF through voluntary payroll deduction, which HE&R matches. Since its founding, the ESF has disbursed more than $860,000, assisting hundreds of HE&R team members to navigate some of the most challenging moments of their lives. The ESF is managed and funded by HE&R team members who want to help their colleagues in need. 

The annual golf tournament, which averages more than 250 participants, is ESF’s single largest fundraising effort. This year’s event raised almost $30,000 for ESF.
