PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL – The Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches is partnering with Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League to help furry friends find their forever homes by waiving all adoption fees for large adult dogs and adult cats from Friday, January 17 through Sunday, January 19, 2025. This special adoption event not only gives the Palm Beach community the chance to adopt a new best friend for free, but it will also get everyone in the spirit for South Florida’s hometown PGA TOUR event, with all adopted dogs receiving a custom bandana featuring the tournament's fresh new look and vibrant Palm Beach-inspired design.

Adoption fees will be waived for adult large dogs (6 months and older, 25 lbs and up) and adult cats (6 months and older). Adoptions will be available at the Pet Adoption Center from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

“We're thrilled that the Cognizant Classic is sponsoring adoption specials for our animals this weekend. This is our first adoption special of 2025 and helps us kick off our 100th anniversary year with a heartfelt reminder of the difference we can make when we collaborate," said Sue Berry, CEO of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. "Together, we're driving home the message that every adoption changes lives, bringing love and happy tails into homes across Palm Beach County.”

This event is just one example of the Cognizant Classic's commitment to supporting local causes and bringing the Palm Beach community together. As one of the region's foremost charitable contributors, the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches donated $6.5 million to local causes in 2024 alone and has contributed more than $75 million since its inception in 1972.

“We are excited to be able to do this for our canine and feline friends here in South Florida,” said Todd Fleming, Executive Director of the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches. “Helping animals find loving homes is a cause close to our hearts, and we’re proud to bring the community together for such a meaningful initiative.”

The Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches returns to PGA National from February 26–March 2, 2025. To purchase tickets and support the charitable mission of the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches or to explore volunteer opportunities, please visit: https://thecognizantclassic.com/
