WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J., Oct. 19, 2017 /CNW/ -- Chubb is pleased to announce the national finals of the 18th annual Chubb Charity Challenge golf tournament, to take place November 12 – 15 at The Pelican Hill Golf Club in Newport, California. Featuring 46 participating teams from across the United States and Canada, the annual charity golf tournament provides the winning team the opportunity to win up to $50,000 for a charity of their choice.
"We are proud to be able to continue this time-honored day of giving back," said Jerry Butler, Senior Vice President, Chubb Group, Division President, Field Operations, North America Insurance.

Competing on behalf of their selected charities, the winning team from each regional tournament advances to the national tournament for a chance to secure a prize of $50,000 for their charities.
