Charles Schwab Challenge Hosting Active & Retired Military Members

In conjunction with National Medal of Honor Day on March 25, Fort Worth Colonial Charities and the Charles Schwab Challenge are announcing the return of hosting military men and women, either active or retired, who have served our nation, by providing complimentary tickets and on-course hospitality for these heroes.

The program is made possible by the Rainwater Charitable Foundation, with the tournament offering up to two complimentary grounds tickets along with entry into the Patriots Outpost private, on-course hospitality venue for any one day of the tournament, Thursday-Sunday, to US active duty, US Reserve and US military retirees. Children ages 15 and under are admitted free with an accompanying adult.

“The Rainwater Charitable Foundation is proud to join the Charles Schwab Challenge, Fort Worth’s PGA TOUR event, in honoring our military families. We hope this opportunity serves as a big thank you to all active and retired military members for their service,” commented Jay McCall, Program Manager for the Rainwater Charitable Foundation.

Active and retired military members can register for tickets beginning April 10, the Monday following The Masters tournament, at CharlesSchwabChallenge.com.

Dates for the Charles Schwab Challenge are May 22-28, Memorial Day Weekend.

Medal of Honor recipient, Salvatore Giunta, US Army (retired), made these comments: “When we go to war and fight, then come home and experience an outpouring of respect, care and gratitude, it is an amazing reward. The tournament and sponsors are providing a first-class experience without us having to dig deep into our pockets. How the tournament and fans are genuinely celebrating and honoring military members in attendance is remarkable.”

Mike Thornton, US Navy Seal (retired), is also a Medal of Honor recipient who salutes Fort Worth Colonial Charities and the Charles Schwab Challenge’s military initiatives. “Colonial was the very first PGA TOUR tournament to host members of the military in an on-site venue and it received a great amount of attention. I have personally been involved with the tournament for a number of years, and I commend them for their ongoing dedication to honoring members of the military,” Thornton said.
