OUR MISSION

Tee It Up for the Troops engages communities to raise awareness and provide support to America’s military veterans by organizing golf events, outreach programs, and fundraisers.

The Opening Ceremony is a tradition at Tee It Up for the Troops events that pays tribute to American heroes who have, and continue to, put their lives at risk on the frontline.

OUR vision and impact

Our vision is to help military veterans and their families to heal, transition, grow, and thrive. To help accomplish this vision, Tee It Up for the Troops has reunited over 400 veterans through our REUNION outreach program and deployed over $19,000,000 in direct support of veterans and military families. In partnership with strictly vetted organizations around the country, funds are directed towards these identified critical areas of need:

OUR PILLARS

When a member of the military comes home, they face a variety of challenges. Unfortunately, many of those challenges are connected and spread into other parts of their life. Addressing one area many times isn’t enough. That’s why Tee It Up for the Troops has six pillars of support. By offering support for all these critical areas of need, we work to provide comprehensive assistance for veterans in all areas of their life. This support for our American heroes helps them get back on course and gives them the best chance of success once they’ve come home.

Tee It Up for the Troops Pillars of Support

Treatment of PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injuries: These invisible wounds of war often go untreated due to shame or misdiagnosis, and they significantly impact veterans and their families. We aim to support veterans coping with these very real issues.

Suicide Awareness and Prevention: Suicide rates among veterans are significantly higher than those of civilians. We support bringing awareness to this issue and support treatment for struggling veterans.

Employment: Due to the unique challenges they face when returning home, the unemployment rate for veterans is significantly higher than the national average. We want to promote training and employment opportunities for veterans.

Sports and Recreation: Getting out and staying active is not only great for veterans struggling with mental illness, it also has rehabilitative benefits. We support programs that provide sports and recreation opportunities that are adaptive for veterans with injuries and have rehabilitative benefits.

Family and Caregiver Support: Many veterans are blessed with support from family and caregivers along their journey. We support programs that aid family members and caregivers in providing the best possible care for the veteran in their lives.

Housing: Housing is among the top concerns for veterans. We promote organizations that help to fight homelessness among veterans and provide transitional and comfort housing while receiving treatment.
