September 11th stands as a reminder that even in the face of unimaginable challenges, our unity and resilience prevail. Just as we come together on the golf course to conquer each hole, we as a nation come together to conquer adversity. This day reminded all of us of the strength that lies within our bonds, the courage that defines us, and the unwavering spirit that carries us forward.

As attendees gathered for the golf outing on this significant day, we were able to honor the memory of those we lost and celebrate the unbreakable human spirit that drives us to overcome obstacles in the face of adversity.

This year, we raised $88,765. All of the proceeds from this outing will benefit USO Hospitality Programs and Services at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). We are so incredibly thankful for everyone that made this year’s golf outing a huge success!
