HRA Foundation to Host 10th Annual Golf Tournament Supporting CURE Childhood Cancer’s 50th Anniversary

ATLANTA, GA — April 2, 2026 — The HRA Foundation will host its 10th Annual Golf Tournament on Friday, April 24, 2026, at Mirror Lake Golf Course in Villa Rica, Georgia, bringing together convenience retailers, supplier partners, and industry leaders in support of CURE Childhood Cancer, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

The HRA Golf Tournament has become one of the convenience industry’s most anticipated charity events, uniting competition, networking, and purpose. Proceeds from the tournament will benefit CURE Childhood Cancer, an Atlanta-based nonprofit organization dedicated to funding pediatric cancer research and providing direct support to children and families affected by the disease.

Over the past decade, the HRA Foundation has raised an incredible $336,516 in Support of Children, including this eighth consecutive year supporting CURE Childhood Cancer — a milestone that underscores the organization’s long-standing commitment to community impact and industry leadership.

“This tournament represents everything HRA stands for — collaboration, leadership, and giving back,” said Chirag Patel, CEO of HRA and tournament sponsor. “Our members and partners continue to show extraordinary generosity, and reaching this milestone alongside CURE’s 50th anniversary makes this year especially meaningful.”

The event will feature a full day of golf, hospitality, on-course contests, and networking, followed by sponsor recognition and appreciation. Tournament sponsors will also be recognized at a private appreciation dinner held the evening prior to the event.

With participation expected from convenience retailers and supplier partners across the Southeast, the tournament continues to strengthen relationships throughout the industry while making a tangible impact beyond the store level.
