Since its inception in 1974, the Classic has donated over $2 million to charities and individuals in need in the Big 30 area, making a significant difference in the lives of many in Elk, McKean, Cameron, Potter, and Warren counties in Pennsylvania, and Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua counties in New York.
