Those funds will be matched one-to-one by Entergy shareholders to total more than a quarter million dollars in assistance available to customers in Arkansas through The Power to Care. With the match, the funds raised by the tournament alone this year will help keep the power on for more than 400 of Entergy Arkansas' most vulnerable customers. The Power to Care is funded not by any of our customers, rather through donations made by employees, customers, vendors and Entergy shareholders.
"The financial assistance provided by The Power to Care is invaluable to our customers," said Hinkle.
