NORTHBROOK, Ill., Aug. 31, 2017 – KemperSports announced today that it is supporting Patriot Golf Day at many of its properties nationwide over Labor Day Weekend (Sept. 2-4, 2017) to raise funds for the Folds of Honor Foundation.
Funds raised through creative efforts at each property will help provide educational scholarships to the children and spouses of service members who have fallen or have been disabled during active military duty. Spearheaded by Major Dan Rooney, F-16 fighter pilot and PGA professional, Patriot Golf Day is the largest grass-roots golf fundraiser in the country that has raised more than $22M since starting in 2007.
“We are humbled to support the service men and women who have sacrificed so much for the benefit of our freedoms,” said KemperSports CEO Steve Skinner. “We are proud to partner with the Folds of Honor in its efforts.”
A full list of participating properties can also be found on www.kemperclub.com.
Folds of Honor partner Titleist also committed 1,000 Folds of Honor logoed golf balls that will be given out at participating KemperSports properties over Labor Day Weekend. The golf balls will be available for purchase with all proceeds benefitting the Folds of Honor Foundation or distributed to those who make a donation to the cause.
