Patriot Golf Day to Help Military FamiliesAlso at Granby Ranch’s Headwater Golf Course Labor Day weekend is Patriot Golf Day Weekend, which starts on Friday, Sept. 2 and ends Monday, Sept. 5.
During this event, donations made at Headwaters Golf Course will go to the Folds of Honor Foundation, which provides post-secondary educational scholarships to children and spouses of military service men and women killed or disabled while serving America.
Golfers are encouraged to donate at least $1 for each round of golf played during Labor Day Weekend. In the last four years, PGA Professionals have been instrumental in raising more than $8.6 million by hosting Patriot Golf Day events at their facilities, allowing the organization to distribute more than 2,000 scholarships internationally, in all 50 states and 41 PGA Sections. The total number of post-secondary educational scholarship recipients will surpass the 2,400 mark in 2011.
Patriot Golf Day is jointly supported by The PGA of America and the United States Golf Association. President George W. Bush, 43rd President of the United States of America, serves as the 2011 Honorary Chairman of Patriot Golf Day weekend.
“This is a great way for the golf industry to help the families of those who have lost their lives or have been injured so that we may have our freedom,” said Joe Melchiorre, Golf Professional of Headwaters Golf Course at Granby Ranch. “This is a wonderful opportunity for golfers in our community to give back to those who have given everything.”
Major Dan Rooney, a PGA Professional, USGA member and former F-16 military pilot with the Oklahoma Air National Guard, founded Folds of Honor Foundation in 2007 following his second of three tours of duty in Iraq. After witnessing the tragic homecoming of a fallen American solider, Rooney was inspired to start Folds of Honor Foundation to provide support to military families in the aftermath of their tragedies.
There are more than 240,000 dependents of fallen and wounded military service men and women from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts alone and 87 percent do not qualify for federal educational assistance. Patriot Golf Day allows Folds of Honor to present an ongoing tribute to our brave service members by ensuring that the families of fallen and wounded warriors have hope for the right educational start to life and best future possible.
Anyone interested in contributing to Folds of Honor Foundation and those applying for scholarships should visit FoldsofHonor.org.
