Overview

Mission

To save over 8,000 Military, Veterans, and First Responders each year from PTSD suicide by utilizing Hero Golf Tour outreach ministry as a recreational therapy and offer free professional Christian Counseling using a proven methodology for those suffering from PTSD suicide ideation. Additionally, we use that same methodology to manifest a greater purpose in the Christian lifestyle promoting discipleship-mentoring nationwide.

What it reported doing in 2022

Hero Days: PTSD Suicide Awareness & Ministry Outreach PTSD suicide has become a global crisis. Hero Days provide us the ability to connect with those that are isolated and suffering from PTSD ideation and introduce them to the Hero Golf Tour and our Christian methodology, where they feel a sense of community, belonging, and hope. Hero Days also allow us to educate people on the devastating effects of PTSD and how we can help. In 2022 we hosted 1,136 Hero Days raising gross donations of over $3.4 million paying out $1,938,054 in direct and indirect benefits to Veterans and first responders.
