CRC wrapped up a memorable week as Hickory Club sponsor at the 2026 UNC Health Championship, connecting with clients, partners, and community.

UNC Health Championship 2026

RALEIGH, N.C., June 2026. CRC proudly wrapped up an incredible week as sponsor of the Hickory Club on the 17th hole during the UNC Health Championship at Raleigh Country Club, held May 28 through 31, 2026.

Throughout the four day tournament, the Hickory Club served as one of the premier hospitality destinations on the course, giving guests a front row seat to some of the most exciting action of the championship while offering a place to connect, celebrate, and enjoy a world class golf experience.

The UNC Health Championship, part of the Korn Ferry Tour, once again drew golf enthusiasts, business leaders, community members, and sponsors from across the region. For CRC, the event was an opportunity to strengthen existing relationships and build new ones in an atmosphere centered on competition, community, and hospitality.

"The week exceeded all expectations," said Dorian Dehnel, President of CRC. "The Hickory Club was filled with energy from the first day through Sunday's final round. It was wonderful to spend time with clients, partners, friends, family members, and so many new faces while enjoying outstanding golf and supporting one of the premier sporting events in our region."

Why This Sponsorship Matters to CRC

CRC has sponsored the Hickory Club at the UNC Health Championship for several years running, and that consistency is intentional. As a background screening company built around ICARe values, Integrity, Communication, Accuracy, and Results, CRC looks for ways to put those values into practice outside the office, and a tournament tied to the region's healthcare community is a natural fit given CRC's long history serving healthcare employers. Sponsorships like this one are less about visibility and more about presence: showing up, in person, for the clients and community CRC works alongside every day.

CRC extends its sincere appreciation to everyone who visited the Hickory Club during the tournament. The venue became a gathering place for meaningful conversations, networking, and memorable moments throughout championship week, and CRC also recognizes the tournament organizers, volunteers, sponsors, and staff whose work made the event possible for players, spectators, and partners alike.

What Community Involvement Means for CRC's Clients and Team

For CRC employees, championship week is a chance to spend time with the clients and candidates their daily work supports, in a setting built around celebration rather than deadlines. For clients, it is a visible reminder that the relationship with CRC extends beyond service contracts: CRC is a neighbor in the same community, invested in the same region's success. As another memorable UNC Health Championship comes to a close, CRC is grateful to have been part of such a special week and looks forward to continuing its support of events that bring people together and strengthen the communities it serves.

Championship week also gives CRC's own recruiters and support staff a rare chance to sit across the table from the healthcare clients and candidates they work with by phone and email the rest of the year. Those face to face conversations tend to stick, and they are part of why CRC keeps returning to the Hickory Club year after year rather than treating community sponsorships as a one time marketing spend.
