Charities We Support

---

Birdies for the Brave.    Since our beginning , our Foundation has donated in excess of $1,350,000 to the Birdies for the Brave (the PGA Tour’s military outreach program).  These donations are then passed onto individual charities that work with both the Birdies for the Brave and the Lowcountry Foundation for Wounded Military Heroes and have agreed to target our donations to Wounded Heroes located in the South Carolina and Georgia lowcountry area.    We partner with Birdies for the Brave (B4B) for several reasons: 

• A common focus and shared vision for helping military vets and their families
• 100% of our donations go directly to the charities we select. B4B takes no salaries, administrative fees, or fees of any sort from the donations we make thereby insuring more funding reaches Wounded Heroes, and 
• Our love of golf 

In December of 2020,  we raised and donated an additional $115,000.  Proceeds from this donation were allocated to the following programs. 

K9s For Warriors.  This charity is dedicated to providing service canines to warriors suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disability, traumatic brain injury, and/or military sexual trauma as a result of military service post 9/11.  This charity's goal is to eliminate the 22 veteran suicides that occur each day.  

This charity is proud to partner with the Lowcountry Foundation for Wounded Military Heroes to give a new leash on life to warriors and rescue dogs. Outstanding organization and outstanding people.

LFWMH donated another $46,000 in 2020 to this exceptional charity bringing our total donations to K9s for Warriors to $471,000.     

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation ensures full financial assistance for a post-secondary degree from an accredited two or four-year college, university, technical, or trade school; and offers family and educational counseling, including in-home tutoring, to the surviving children of Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps special operations personnel who lose their lives in the line of duty.  The LFWMH has donated just under $375,000 to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation and we have funded three (3) full scholarships through graduation.

That number includes this year's addition of $33,000 to this deserving charity .... which will help fund another full scholarship.

Operation Shower.   Since it's founding in 2007, Operation Shower has hosted baby showers for thousands of military families, thanks to the overwhelming support of individuals and groups across the country.   In 2018, the LFWMH began its partnership with Operation Shower by sponsoring their event prior to the RBC Heritage golf tournament.  In support of this event, LFWMH has donated a cumulative $36,000 to this charity including $6,000 in 2020.
