Mission
Our mission is to provide funds that directly support wounded military heroes through charitable programs reviewed, approved, and recommended by Birdies for the Brave, a PGA Tour Charities, Inc. affiliate and part of the PGA Tour's Military Outreach program. These programs are designed specifically for the individual needs of our wounded heroes as they return to active duty or assimilate back into the civilian population. We raise money by soliciting sponsorships for our Wounded Heroes Golf Classics, from our Golf Classics themselves, fom silent live, and online auctions and more
Program accomplishments
- LFWMH raises funds via annual golf tournament registration fees, sponsorships, donations from businesses and individuals, auction item sales, and raffle ticket sales. We hold several events throughout the year. Three (3) things make our golf outings unique; (1) We invite Wounded Heroes, as our guests, to play with the paying foursomes. Wounded Heroes are those injured in post 9/11 combat (Purple Heart recipients), those who have or are suffering from PTSD, and those with traumatic brain injuries. (2) We provide our Wounded Hero guests with a 1-hour golf clinic before the event begins, and (3) for approximately twelve (12) years, the Special Forces Association Parachute Team performs at each of our Golf Classic events which includes a tandem jumper making a minimum donation of $500.Expenses $417,307 · grants $410,000 · revenue $425,004
