Additional recipients of funds raised by the golf tournament include the United Heroes League, which provides children of military service members access to youth sports, the David Foster Foundation, which promotes and supports organ donation for children in need, and Team Rubicon, which provides immediate and long-term disaster response aid to cleanup and rebuild storm impacted communities.
