Firestone Country Club’s long-standing legacy in professional golf found new life when Kaulig Companies became the title sponsor of the Kaulig Companies Championship in 2023, preserving a historic tournament and revitalizing professional golf in Akron. Under Matt Kaulig’s leadership, the event has evolved beyond championship play, featuring concerts, community activities, and a county-fair atmosphere bringing together families, fans, and partners across Northeast Ohio. The tournament’s philanthropic impact continues to grow, raising more than $2.6 million for over 30 local charities, with Kaulig Companies actively engaging in year-round initiatives that support Akron Children’s Hospital, the LeBron James Family Foundation, Ronald McDonald House Charities, and more. Deeply rooted in Akron since founding LeafFilter and establishing Kaulig Companies, Matt Kaulig remains committed to strengthening the community through hands-on involvement and bold leadership.
