Tri-Star Charitable Foundation

At Tri-Star, our Higher Purpose is building caring, genuine relationships that strengthen families and communities. Through the Tri-Star Charitable Foundation, we invest in causes that create lasting impact across the Great Lakes Bay Region and Greater Lansing.

Since launching the Tri-Star Charity Pro-Am in 2022 with the established with the intended purpose of receiving and administering funds for charitable and educational purposes, we’ve raised and granted more than $704,500 to over 80 nonprofit organizations.

This year, we’re focused on supporting young adults ages 16 to 25 as they navigate life’s biggest challenges. Our goal is to invest $200,000 in 33 organizations helping them find stability, opportunity, and hope. The enclosed flyer highlights these incredible partners. The Tri-Star Charitable Foundation has committed $50,000 toward this initiative, with proceeds from the Tri-Star Charity Pro-Am funding more than half of our goal.

By being part of the Tri-Star family, you are already helping make a meaningful investment in the future of our communities.

2026 Tri-Star Charity Pro-Am

WE’RE DRIVING CHANGE IN OUR COMMUNITY…THANKS TO YOU!

In 2026, the Tri-Star Charitable Foundation will “shine a light” on the next generation of young adults. Over 30 non-profits have been identified with programs or initiatives within their organizations that support mentorship, work & life skills, and life stability. The funds raised through the Pro-Am, sponsorships, partnerships, client support, and community support will fund these existing organization programs that aid young adults from ages 16-25.

$60,000 of the total funds raised came from sponsorships and the Pro-Am Kickoff Event. The players, sponsors, and additional donors are then invited to the Be A Light Celebration in September, a powerful evening where nonprofit grant recipients share their impact and receive funding. Nearly 200 attendees gathered to celebrate these incredible organizations and their missions.

These efforts are not intended to be all-encompassing in supporting all the organizations doing this work within the Great Lakes Bay Region and Greater Lansing Areas. 30+ organizations have been selected as the recipients and are intended to “shine a light” on the types of organizations supporting the chosen cause.
