The Best Volunteer Program award takes into account many factors, including recruitment and retention efforts, year-round engagement, diversity and inclusion among volunteers, and more. The Rocket Mortgage Classic relies on a group of approximately 1,300 volunteers each year who serve in various roles to help make the event a success.

“It is exciting to be recognized by the PGA TOUR once again for the incredible effort that goes into making the Rocket Mortgage Classic such a standout event,” said Rocket Companies President and Rocket Giving Fund Board President Bill Emerson. “This recognition is a testament to Dan Gilbert’s vision of bringing a PGA TOUR event to Detroit — not just to showcase the city but to actively contribute to its ongoing renaissance. Being named the most inclusive stop on tour is a huge honor, and we’re incredibly proud of the impact this event continues to have. I also want to take a moment to thank the thousands of volunteers whose dedication and hard work make it all possible. Their efforts are at the heart of our success, helping us create a meaningful experience for fans and maximizing our support for local nonprofits. We couldn’t do it without them.”
