Charity

2025 Charity Partners

Each year, the Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout proudly selects charity partners to be the beneficiaries of the tournament’s proceeds. Now celebrating its 10th year, the El Dorado Shootout has surpassed $240,000 in total donations to a variety of charitable organizations.

This year, the tournament remains committed to a powerful shared mission: the fight against breast cancer. We are proud to support multiple organizations that are making a significant impact on women’s health both statewide and within our hometown. These partners include the #teamcorrie Cancer Foundation, the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, and the South Arkansas Regional Hospital Foundation.

In addition to benefiting from increased media exposure and public awareness, each organization will receive a donation during the tournament’s Closing Ceremony on Sunday, September 21.

#teamcorrie Cancer Foundation

The #teamcorrie Cancer Foundation was created in honor of the late Corrie Jo Gross Bechtelheimer and her dream of helping local cancer warriors. #teamcorrie’s mission is to provide one-time grants to cancer patients residing in Union County, Arkansas, to assist with medical expenses incurred during cancer treatments. In addition to grants, #teamcorrie makes and donates yarn character wigs to children experiencing hair loss due to cancer treatments.

Even with insurance, cancer is costly. Cancer warriors and their families can be devastated physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially. People with cancer can often be faced with difficult decisions when it comes to being able to afford their medication, treatments, and day-to-day expenses. Since the inception of the Foundation, #teamcorrie has given over $339,000 in grants to over 282 cancer patients and has donated over 2,000 wigs to children in need.

Thanks to community support and the Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout, in 2025, #teamcorrie was able to raise their grant amount from $2,000 per applicant to $2,500. The increased grant amount will allow #teamcorrie to make more of an impact when helping individuals with cancer in Union County.

#teamcorrie will hold their 13th annual Paint the Town Pink 5K Color Walk/Run, in downtown El Dorado on Saturday, October 4 to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
