Tee It Up For The Troops, Inc. is a 501(c)3 organization established in 2005 by the family and friends of a soldier who enlisted in the U.S. Army after September 11, 2001. When the son was asked by his father what he needed, the son responded by asking his father to do something for the soldiers and their families back home. TEE IT UP FOR THE TROOPS, INC. was created to honor that request and to recognize the needs of all veterans who have served and continue to serve this great nation.
The NATIONAL DAY OF GOLF was subsequently formed and has since produced numerous golf outings throughout the country where the proceeds benefit veterans of all branches and conflicts. Our goal is to annually make the Friday closest to September 11th the NATIONAL DAY OF GOLF. This is our way to salute all those who have answered the call to duty and a day to acknowledge and honor the sacrifice of all military veterans and their families. Golf is “America’s pastime, saluting America’s Heroes.”
In its inaugural year of 2005, Tee It Up For The Troops raised over $80,000. Today, we have raised over $2 million dollars and hold events at courses in over 30 states. The proceeds of TIUFTT benefit numerous programs that support veterans and their families.
