Topgolf Honors Veterans, Supports Education to Strengthen Communities with New Folds of Honor Partnership

"We are proud to support organizations like Folds of Honor that take care of our nation's military families," said Topgolf CEO Ken May. "Education empowers people to expand their skill sets and knowledge to strengthen the community around them. Many of our own associates are veterans or on reserve, which makes this partnership all the more meaningful for our company. We invite our local communities to join Topgolf in making a donation to help people pursue their educational and career passions, which will undoubtedly create lasting benefits for our communities at large."

Topgolf guests can ask their Bay Host to add a donation to Folds of Honor on their check all day on Nov. 11. Veterans and active-duty military members who already have a Topgolf Heroes Membership will receive an email code for $25 off game play that can be redeemed on Veterans Day. Those who do not currently have a Heroes Membership will be provided one for free on Nov. 11 upon presenting valid I.D.[i] The company plans to sponsor additional Patriot Golf Days on Memorial Day and Independence Day.

"We are excited to partner with Topgolf this Veteran's Day," said Folds of Honor CEO Major Dan Rooney. "It's a very special day for our country, as we honor those who have served our nation to keep our country and freedoms safe. We look forward to continuing this alliance and working with this great organization in the future."

Topgolf offers a year-round Heroes Discount for military (active duty and veterans), police, fire and EMS personnel. This includes 20 percent off monthly memberships and 10 percent off game play. Also, with the help of its charity partner Bunkers in Baghdad, Topgolf donates golf clubs and balls to troops overseas.

"My Folds of Honor scholarship has had a significant impact on my life and allowed me to further my education and earn a college degree," said Folds of Honor scholarship recipient and Regional Development Officer Sarah White. "I am so grateful to Topgolf for their support of the organization that means so much to me and the thousands of other military families on Veterans Day."
