Executive Director James Mangan and Director of Operations Jon Guevara of Beat the Streets National accept a donation during the 2025 TCA Classic, reflecting the event\u2019s ongoing commitment to supporting meaningful causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now in its sixth year, the TCA Classic continues to evolve\u2014not just in scale, but in reach. What began as a local industry event, created by a group of committed local leaders with the Tilt-Up Concrete Association as one of its intended beneficiaries, has grown into a broader platform for giving back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the beginning, TCA took on the administration of the tournament and has remained committed to preserving its original spirit. While the event has expanded\u2014now drawing participants from across the United States and Canada\u2014that founding intention has stayed intact: to use the gathering of the industry as an opportunity to support meaningful causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year, the TCA works in close collaboration with a local planning committee, chaired by Miranda Reuter of FGL Freight, to identify organizations that can be directly supported through the event. Past efforts have included Wounded Warrior Project, Fischer House Foundation, Combat Marine Outdoors, and Beat the Streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the expansion to two courses, the 2026 event creates a new opportunity to spread impact. This year, a charity will be featured on each course, with the Tilt-Up Concrete Association matching donations collected throughout the day up to $5,000 per organization. The selected organizations\u2014Atlanta Angels and Ronald McDonald House of Atlanta\u2014represent two distinct but equally important areas of need within the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlanta Angels works to transform the foster care experience across Metro Atlanta, grounded in the belief that children and youth in foster care thrive when supported by consistent relationships and a strong community. Their presence at this year\u2019s event is hosted in partnership with ARCO Design\/Build \/ ARCON, whose connection to the early development of the TCA Classic makes the collaboration especially meaningful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ronald McDonald House of Atlanta provides essential support for families with children receiving medical care, offering stability and resources during some of the most difficult times they may face. They will be featured in partnership with Leviat, a long-standing supporter of both the association and this event, whose involvement continues to help shape its impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Both organizations will be present on the course throughout the day, creating opportunities for participants to engage directly with their missions, learn more about their work, and contribute. Additional information will be available at registration, and donations collected during the event will be presented at the lunch reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its charitable contributions, the TCA Classic reflects a broader culture of generosity across the event itself. On average, $5,000 in prize money will be awarded to participants, alongside raffle prizes and curated swag bags provided to every golfer. Together, these elements speak to the level of support behind the event and the shared investment in creating an experience that is both meaningful and memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The structure of the TCA Classic\u2014bringing people together in a shared setting\u2014creates something more than a tournament. It creates access. It creates visibility. And when paired with intentional partnerships like these, it creates a way for the industry to extend its influence beyond the work itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
