Welcome
The Grin Kids Charity & Celebrity Open formed in 2003. The objective of the weekend long event is to bring people together in a fun, interactive environment, and raise money for the most important resource of all, our children! ACE & TJ’s Grin Kids is a non-profit 501c3 charity, created by morning show personalities ACE & TJ in Charlotte, North Carolina in January of 2000. The name of the organization comes from ACE & TJ’s motto on their morning show, “You Grin, You’re In!”
ACE & TJ’s Grin Kids is designed to enhance the lives of children who are terminally ill and chronically handicapped, ages five through twelve, in the listening area. Each year, ACE & TJ’s Grin Kids takes as many children as financially possible to Disney World with their parents and siblings. Because of their special needs and financial strain, this is an experience that many of these children and families would not be able to know without the help of ACE & TJ’s Grin Kids.

"Thank you for giving our family a trip we did not think possible, the Grin Kids Charity made this dream possible”
We need all of the support and assistance possible to make this trip another reality for a new group of Grin Kids. We are asking each local, regional and national company, including individuals in the Charlotte, NC / Lake Norman areas to do something. Our goal of reaching $1 million dollars is quickly becoming a reality. This will be the 6th year of this event and we have already donated a total of $401,540.00 to the Grin Kids Charity. This year's tournament will be a wonderful experience and the perfect opportunity to contribute to a great cause, become active in the community and mingle with many corporate executives, high profile celebrities and athletes.
100% of the net proceeds will benefit Ace & TJ’s GRIN KIDS, with donations and sponsorships being tax deductable
