“Helping our wounded warriors, their families and the survivors of the fallen”
WHAT IS PUTTING FOR PATRIOTS?
Putting for Patriots is an annual fundraising event conducted by the Pirate's Island and Pirate's Cove chains of adventure golf courses. We proudly support local, Veteran-related charities in our various markets, plus two national charities that efficiently serve our wounded, their families and Veterans suffering from PTSD. The event takes place each May, culminating on Memorial Day weekend. Each year, our 28 participating courses donate a % of their total sales over Memorial Weekend and accept customer donations on behalf of the non-profits. To date, we have raised over $780,000 for charities that support our Veterans.

EVENT HISTORY/RESULTS
2024 UPDATE: SINCE 2007, WE HAVE RAISED $783,146 FOR OUR SELECTED CHARITIES!
WHY SUPPORT THE EVENT?
- Thousands of Veterans returned home with amputated limbs, or bearing other life-altering wounds. Others suffer from hidden wounds--PTSD and suicidal intentions.
- While a typical wounded Soldier or Marine’s immediate medical care is taken care of by the government, often there are gigantic hidden costs or gaps in care not covered by the military or any government program. These costs can zap the financial life out of young, struggling military families. A lack of proper counseling can lead to suicide or unhealed emotional scars for the survivors of deceased Veterans.
- By joining our effort, you will help provide much-needed revenue for a select group of excellent charities, which effectively help fill these gaps in care.
