The Jim “Mudcat” Grant Legacy All-Star Golf Tournament was established in 2002 by Security Mutual Life and the late Jim “Mudcat” Grant, together with his fellow members of The Black Aces, to help make an impact on the lives of local children and families. Additionally, a separate fundraising event is held during the tournament, with those proceeds being used to help support U.S. veterans, particularly homeless veterans in Broome County.

“Security Mutual Life is proud to help sponsor this tournament. We greatly appreciate the generosity of the celebrities, sponsors, volunteers and supporters who help make this event possible each year,” said Bruce W. Boyea, Security Mutual Life Chair of the Board.
