The Derrick Brooks Celebrity Classic is the main annual fundraiser for Derrick Brooks Charities. The very first event was hosted at Rogers Park Golf Course in April of 2000 – we are currently entering our 25th year. Derrick Brooks Charities flies professional athletes and celebrities into Tampa to participate in the event and invites high profile celebrities from the Tampa market as well.

The Annual Derrick Brooks Celebrity Golf Classic generates revenue to ensure the youth of our community the opportunity to obtain and achieve their educational goals – this is done through the many educational programs that Derrick Brooks Charities operate.  The mission of Derrick Brooks Charities, Inc. is to provide educational opportunities for youth that will instill, inspire, and develop cultural and social vision outside of the walls in which they live to ensure that these young people have every chance to develop into strong and productive leaders of tomorrow.
