In 2009, the title sponsor of the tournament was Turkey Hill, a chain of Pennsylvania convenience store/gas stations and its sister company, Turkey Hill Dairy, a dairy processor based in Conestoga, Pennsylvania.

The tournament was a 54-hole event, as are most Futures Tour tournaments, and included pre-tournament pro-am opportunities, in which local amateur golfers can play with the professional golfers from the Tour as a benefit for local charities. The benefiting charity of the Pennsylvania Classic was the Boys & Girls Club of Central Pennsylvania.
