SAN DIEGO, CA. —- Heritage Golf Group, LLC (HGG), a leading owner and operator of premier golf properties across the country, announced today that as part of the company’s support for the Birdies for the Brave military outreach initiative, each private club within The Heritage Collection will participate in the Adopt-A-Wounded Warrior Program, whereby Honorary Club Memberships are awarded to the Wounded Warrior Project for the benefit of a local wounded warrior.
Wounded Warrior Project is responsible for identifying qualified wounded warriors and matching them with each private club in their community. The wounded warrior is then awarded an Honorary Membership for themselves and their family.
“Heritage Golf Group has been dedicated to supporting Birdies for the Brave as our National Charity and we believe that the Honorary Membership Program is a natural extension of our support for Military families,” said Bob Husband, President and CEO of Heritage Golf Group. “This Membership Program is intended to support and aid in the rehabilitation process and also allows us and our Members to honor and express gratitude to our courageous American heroes for their service and sacrifice.”
Through this Honorary Membership Program, the wounded warrior will receive family membership privileges at each of HGG’s Clubs. Such privileges include a Complimentary Initiation Fee, Complimentary Monthly Dues, and Full Golf and Social Privileges.
Birdies for the Brave is a military outreach initiative, proudly supported by the PGA TOUR, for the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families.
