Raised Over $324,000 At Last Year’s Event
Last year, Kid Rock, Lee Brice, Michael Ray, Jameson Rodgers, Jelly Roll, Jordan Rowe, Tyler Braden, Walker Montgomery, Dee Jay Silver, Hannah Ellis, Nick Wayne and more traded their stage wear for golf attire and raised more than $324,000 for Folds of Honor Tennessee.
At the time, Brice, who has helped organize the event for the past two years, said he is always willing to step up in support of Folds of Honor.
“Just hearing their story and why they started this thing for the families of the veterans who don’t make it back. We can’t do enough for those people who have been sacrificing more than just even the ultimate sacrifice but all the time and the years they’ve sacrificed,” he shared.
Rodgers is a longtime supporter of Folds of Honor as well.
“They’re giving scholarships to family members of fallen soldiers, is there a cooler organization than that? Between this and the softball game…it’s a great organization and I am proud to be here,” he said while on the golf course.
About Folds Of Honor
Folds Of Honor began with Lt Col Dan Rooney’s flight home from his second tour of duty in Iraq. An F-16 fighter pilot in the Oklahoma Air National Guard, he became painfully aware of the realities families face when a loved one in uniform is fallen or disabled.
As his flight landed, the pilot announced they carried the remains of Corporal Brock Bucklin on board. Lt Col Rooney watched as Corporal Bucklin’s twin brother walked somberly alongside the flag-covered casket to meet his family on the tarmac. Among them was the deceased Corporal’s young son, Jacob.
Since that night, Lt Col Rooney has committed his life to rallying patriotic Americans and meeting sacrifice with hope through the Folds of Honor. Since 2007, we’ve provided life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled military. And now, our mission expands to the families of America’s first responders. On our watch, those who protect our freedoms and our families will know they are not forgotten.
