The Special Operations Warrior Golf Foundation is a benevolent organization that utilizes the healing and networking power of golf to assist Special Operations wounded, ill and injured warriors recover, rehabilitate, and reintegrate into civilian life. Further, we provide access to resources for continued medical care and benefits, and strongly focus on aiding them in career transition.
We first introduce our SOF Warriors to the game of golf and its inherent therapeutic and networking powers. We then use the networking power to introduce the warriors to mentors from the business sector to assist them individually in their career transition.
Access to Therapeutic and Medical Care
We provide an assessment of each SOF Warrior’s physical and mental health and assist them with access to applicable and available treatments through the VA and our 501(c)(3) Partners.
Access to Benefits
In connection with the therapeutic assessment, we help the SOF Warrior with understanding and navigating the compensation and benefits process.
