This summer, Pacific Office Automation was proud to continue its partnership with the Charity Championship Tour. What began as a single charity golf tournament has grown into a three-event tour spanning Oregon and Idaho, with momentum that shows no signs of slowing down. Together, these tournaments raised more than $265,000 for local charities in 2026, contributing to an impressive $700,000 donated over the past five years.
A Growing Tradition of Giving Back
Five years ago, Green Barn Events approached Pacific Office Automation with an innovative idea for a charity golf tournament. Rather than supporting just one nonprofit organization, the event would bring together dozens of local charities to compete for cash prizes that would directly benefit their missions.
That idea became the Oregon Charity Championship, and its success grew as the tour expanded. What started in Portland soon grew into the Central Oregon Charity Championship in Bend, and this summer marked the debut of the Idaho Charity Championship in Boise. As a founding partner, Pacific Office Automation has proudly supported every tournament along the way, helping Green Barn Events donate more than $700,000 to charities and communities throughout Oregon and Idaho.
