14th Annual Patriot Golf Day Celebrated Nationwide Memorial Day Weekend
Published on
The 14th Annual Patriot Golf Day honored the sacrifice of our nation’s military heroes across America this Memorial Day Weekend (May 28-31), by raising awareness and scholarship funds for the families of fallen and wounded Veterans. This is the first time the event has happened on Memorial Day.
Serving as “the most heroic round of golf you will ever play,” Patriot Golf Day began as a grassroots fundraising initiative over Labor Day Weekend in 2007, with golfers nationwide encouraged to add an extra dollar to their green fees to fund Folds of Honor scholarships. Over the last 14 years, the effort has grown to encompass onsite donation boxes, a variety of fundraising events, tournaments and golf marathons led by PGA Professionals and golfers nationwide.
Beginning in 2019, Folds of Honor and PGA HOPE joined together to expand and grow annual fundraising efforts for both Folds of Honor and PGA HOPE to better serve the needs of Veterans and their families through the game of golf.
