Parker’s Kitchen recently held its 13th Annual Fueling the Community Charity Golf Tournament at The Landings in Savannah, Georgia, raising a record $530,000 to support local schools in the communities the company serves throughout Georgia and South Carolina, the retailer said.

On October 20, Parker’s Kitchen said 288 golfers teed off on the Magnolia and Marshwood championship courses at The Landings for the sold-out scramble-format tournament. Parker’s Kitchen beat its goal to raise $450,000 to support education, eclipsing last year’s record fundraising total of $400,000.

In addition to golf, the 2025 Fueling the Community Charity Golf Tournament featured a catered breakfast and lunch, live music, raffle drawings and an awards ceremony.

“We’re deeply committed to supporting education and making a transformative impact on the communities we serve,” said Parker’s Kitchen Founder and Executive Chairman Greg Parker. “We know that education paves the path for future success in life, which is why it serves as the foundation of all Parker’s Kitchen charitable giving.”

“We’re thrilled to raise a record total at this year’s golf tournament to support public and private schools in communities we serve,” said Olivia Parker, Parker’s Kitchen outreach and communications manager. “We look forward to presenting Fueling the Community checks to various school systems in the coming months and continuing to make a positive impact across the region.”

Since Parker’s Kitchen’s Fueling the Community charitable initiative was originally founded in 2011, the company has donated a portion of gas sold at all Parker’s and Parker’s Kitchen locations on the first Wednesday of each month to area schools. To date, Parker’s Kitchen said it has raised more than $3 million to support education through the Fueling the Community program.
