Spotlight Charity
The Patriot All-America Invitational is deeply committed to honoring our military or first responder heroes, not just in spirit but through a profound partnership with the Folds of Honor Foundation. At the heart of this collaboration is a powerful symbol: at the opening ceremony, each golfer is entrusted with a commemorative PING golf bag, each bearing the name, rank, and branch of a fallen or wounded service member or first responder. This bag is not just equipment; it is a tribute carried by each player throughout the tournament, serving as a constant reminder of the sacrifice made by these heroes. As the event concludes, these bags are sent back to the players' schools and auctioned off. The funds raised from these auctions are directed to the Folds of Honor, which provides educational scholarships to the children and spouses of our fallen and wounded service members or first responder. This partnership exemplifies a commitment to remembrance through action, ensuring that the legacy of these heroes continues to inspire and support their families.
