Charities may vie for golf tournament cash

The American Century Championship has $85,000 to give to South Shore area charities.

Sixty thousand dollars was previously provided through on-site volunteer efforts to area high schools, Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe and others involved with the annual celebrity golf tournament. American Century Investments also distributed $30,000 among its three national cancer organizations: Livestrong, Expect Miracles Foundation, and American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
