The Rocket Giving Fund's mission is to host a world-class PGA TOUR event while simultaneously benefiting the Detroit community. The Organization's primary fundraising activity is the Rocket Mortgage Classic, Detroit's annual PGA TOUR event. The net proceeds realized by the event and other such activities and events will support its new "Changing the Course" initiative in partnership with Rocket Mortgage, a multi-year campaign with a vision that every Detroit resident has access to the internet, technology and digital literacy training they deserve within five years.
