The world of sports and philanthropy often overlaps when it comes to charity events. One such event is the Derek Jeter Invitational, a star-studded golf tournament that brings together big names from the sports and entertainment world to support a great cause. The event is held annually at the Baha Mar's Royal Blue Golf Course in the Bahamas, and this year marks the 21st edition. The tournament is a unique blend of glamour and sports, all aimed at empowering young people to rewrite their paths.

Captain Clutch, as Derek Jeter is affectionately known, founded the Turn 2 Foundation in 1996 with a mission to foster leadership, promote healthy lifestyles, and encourage positive behavior change among young people. The foundation's programs have made a significant impact, with over $45 million in funding and grants given back to programs and organizations with similar missions.

The foundation's success can be attributed to the tireless efforts of its president, Sharlee Jeter, Derek's beloved sister. She has been the driving force behind the organization since 2010, working closely with a dedicated team to make a difference in the lives of young people.

This year's event promises to be an action-packed three days, with golf, a competitive shootout, and a gala featuring a live performance by Flo Rida. Proceeds from the event will go directly to the Turn 2 Foundation, which will continue to support its programs and initiatives.
