For a quarter of a century, CCA has hosted the Chairman's Charity Golf Classic to generate funds for charitable organizations that serve the Middle Tennessee community. The event benefits dozens of nonprofits whose work directly reflects CCA's giving mission: To provide assistance and resources to former offenders, victims of crime and underserved youth.
