Chuck Connors - Charitable Invitation

Connors was appreciated for his charitable contributions. It has been reported that the Chuck Connors Invitational Golf Tournament has raised over $400,000.00 and the proceeds have gone to Angel View Crippled Children's Foundation. He was active with the United Way and participated in fundraisers for officers wounded in the line of duty.
