Nearly 900 people, including dealers and AutoTrader.com employees, participated in the fourth year of the golf tournaments. The winning dealers from each of the 28 cities were treated this past weekend to a trip to the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess in Arizona as well as a final golf outing at The Tournament Players Club (TPC) of Scottsdale, home of the FBR Open.

"We partner with dealers all across the country each year to help raise awareness for a wonderful cause," said Chip Perry, president and chief executive officer, AutoTrader.com. "We're proud to work with our dealers to assist St. Jude as much as we can with their amazing programs."

Over the past four years, the tournament has had over 2,700 participants help raise nearly half a million dollars for St. Jude.
