First year funding in the amount of $50,000 will go to The Directors Council (TDC), a Des Moines-based not-for-profit organization committed to developing social service programs focused on racial disparities and inequities in the areas of employment, education, financial inclusion, health, and housing.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe contribution will directly support TDC\u2019s One Economy program designed to unite the community through a shared commitment to eliminate racial economic disparities. The funds will be used to create summer employment experiences for low-income youth ages 14-21 in greater Des Moines. This need was identified as a strategic goal of TDC and outlined in One Economy\u2019s Blueprint For Action unveiled last year.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe Principal Charity Classic is devoted to improving the lives of Iowa children,\u201d said Douglas Habgood, Principal Charity Classic tournament director. \u201cTogether with Sammons Financial Group, we are committed to supporting TDC\u2019s mission of opening doors to future success for the aspiring youth in our great community.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSponsored by Principal Financial Group<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, the Principal Charity Classic has donated $30 million to Iowa children\u2019s charities since 2007, positively impacting the lives of more than 130,000 children each year.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe summer employment program will strive to provide unique employment opportunities for children of color who don\u2019t always have access to this early, meaningful work experience,\u201d said Teree Caldwell-Johnson, board chair of TDC and CEO of Oakridge Neighborhood. \u201cThis generous contribution from the Principal Charity Classic and Sammons Financial Group will directly support the positive development of youth by engaging them in career exploration, leadership, and community involvement opportunities.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIt is estimated the number of summer employment participants could grow to more than 1,200 youth by 2023 as other Des Moines-area businesses take part in The Legacy Project. Interested companies should contact the Principal Charity Classic at (515) 279-4653 for details on how to participate.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSammons Financial Group aligned with TDC in 2020 on a financial inclusion initiative. The goal of the summer youth employment program is to prepare today\u2019s youth for future career opportunities,\u201d said Rob TeKolste, president, Sammons Independent Annuity Group. \u201cEach year, TDC member organizations have collectively employed about 100 youth through existing programs, and this new program expands upon those efforts. It\u2019s our genuine hope that other area employers will join us in supporting TDC\u2019s efforts to close the gap on racial disparities in our community.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSammons Financial Group also sponsors the Principal Charity Classic\u2019s Birdies For Charity Program, a matching program that provides donations to more than 80 not-for-profit organizations that support Iowa children.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Principal Charity Classic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nThe Principal Charity Classic is an annual and award-winning PGA TOUR Champions event dedicated to investing in the future of Iowa kids. In 2020, the Principal Charity Classic raised a record $6.7 million for charity, bringing the tournament\u2019s giving total to more than $30 million since 2007. Tournament funds benefit organizations that provide a broad level of support to Iowa kids in the areas of education and culture, financial security and stability, and\/or health and wellness.
