The Golf Club at Yankee Trace will participate in the fifth annual Patriot Golf Day weekend Sept. 2-5. Golfers across the country and at Yankee Trace have the unique opportunity to donate an additional $1 or more to benefit the Folds of Honor Foundation (FoldsofHonor.org), which provides post-secondary educational scholarships for children and spouses of military service men and women killed or disabled while serving our great nation. The mission of Folds of Honor is to help ensure that no family is left behind in the field of battle by honoring their sacrifice and educating their legacy. Yankee Trace will request at least an additional $1 for each green fee that is processed Sept. 2-5. Patriot Golf Day is jointly supported by The PGA of America and the United States Golf Association. President George W. Bush, 43rd President of the United States of America, serves as the 2011 Honorary Chairman of Patriot Golf Day weekend.
In the last four years, PGA Professionals have been instrumental in raising more than $8.6 million by hosting Patriot Golf Day events at their facilities, allowing the organization to distribute more than 2,000 scholarships internationally, in all 50 states and 41 PGA Sections. The total number of post-secondary educational scholarship recipients will surpass the 2,400 mark in 2011.
Individuals interested in contributing to Folds of Honor Foundation and those applying for scholarships should visit FoldsofHonor.org.
