C&S Charities, Inc. coordinates C&S Wholesale Grocers’ annual Tee Up For Kids charity golf event, raising donations for nonprofit organizations devoted to ending pediatric cancer and childhood hunger.
C&s Charities Inc centers its giving on two linked issues: pediatric cancer and childhood hunger. The foundation coordinates the Tee Up For Kids™ golf outing, and proceeds from that event are distributed to nonprofit partners working on children’s health and food security. That event-driven model helps explain the size of its support: recent gifts range from sizable hospital and national nonprofit awards to smaller community-focused grants. Among the clearest examples is repeated support for Children's Hospital at Dartmouth in Lebanon, New Hampshire, which received major grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation also backed national hunger organizations through large contributions to Feeding America and Share Our Strength No Hungry, showing that it funds both direct service providers and broader anti-hunger intermediaries. Recent grants also reach cancer care and childhood wellbeing organizations beyond its home region, including Dana-farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Hole-in-the-wall Gang Camp in Ashford, and Hollings Cancer Center in Charleston. The pattern suggests a funder that uses event proceeds to support a small set of recurring priorities rather than a wide, generalized portfolio.
Pediatric oncology appears consistently in the foundation’s grant record. C&s Charities Inc gave $300,000 to Dana-farber Cancer Institute in Boston for oncology and child hunger work, and it also supported Hollings Cancer Center in Charleston with grants of $25,000 in 2023, $23,500 in 2024, and $20,000 in 2025. Child hunger and food security are the other main thread. The foundation awarded $310,000 each to Share Our Strength No Hungry in Washington, DC, and Feeding America in Chicago in 2025, after similar support in earlier years. It also gave $35,000 to New Hampshire Food Bank in Manchester and $30,000 to Food Bank of Western Mass in Chicopee. Children’s health and well-being show up through camp and hospital support, including Hole-in-the-wall Gang Camp in Ashford, which received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Grant sizes are substantial and clustered around larger awards: the typical gift sits at $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $145,000 at the median, and $275,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows both recurring support and repeat grantees across multiple years, especially for hospitals and hunger organizations. C&s Charities Inc is a public charity, and the grant record shows event-driven philanthropy tied to Tee Up For Kids™. The foundation also makes unsolicited community donation requests in some program areas, with mini-grants available through its donation-request pages. Its recent giving is concentrated in project support and targeted contributions rather than individual assistance or program-related investments.
