The nonprofit made the announcement Wednesday at a luncheon at the Town and Country Resort & Convention Center.
The Century Club raised $321,860 for local schools through the Support Our Schools program, a partnership with the Farmers Insurance Open in which students sell discounted tickets to the PGA tournament and keep 88 percent of the ticket sales for their schools. The proceeds go toward new turf for playing fields, new sports uniforms, renovated locker rooms, new band equipment and dance programs.
Century Club also raised $100,000 for local military charities, including Wounded Warrior Project, Naval Special Warfare Foundation (Navy SEAL), and Semper Fi Fund (U.S. Marines).
Other funds went toward programs for the homeless, senior services and animal shelters.
The Century Club of San Diego is a nonprofit volunteer organization that has fundraised about $22 million for local causes since 1968.
