Tee It Up for the Troops
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. As a national non-profit organization, Tee It Up for the Troops' vision is to help military veterans and their families heal, transition, grow, and thrive. When military members return to their community, they face various challenges, so addressing one area often is not enough. That is why Tee It Up for the Troops supports six core pillars including: Housing and Homelessness, Family and Caregiver Support, PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury Treatment, Suicide Prevention, Employment, and Sports Rehabilitation. Tee It Up for the Troops has invested over $17 million to positively impact more than 340,000 American military heroes and their families, helping them successfully transition from the battlefront to the home front. In addition, through our life-changing REUNION outreach program, Tee It Up for the Troops has reunited more than 500 battle buddies who were separated due to battlefield injuries. Through these reunions, participants receive support and resources to help them address the "hidden wounds of war," including the psychological and emotional injuries that can profoundly impact a veteran's life. They also re-establish connections with those they trust most, helping them to survive and thrive. Learn more at www.teeitupforthetroops.org. |
