What We Do

Since 2019, the second weekend in June in Gowrie, IA we host a Military Appreciation Day and 4-person best ball tournament. Folks get to enjoy a day filled with music, food, fellowship, golf, military static displays, and a silent auction all while paying it forward to raise funds and celebrate our active duty, veterans, and gold star families!

Our Mission:

Supporting our military, veterans, and their families by honoring the promise, dedication and sacrifices made to protect our freedoms and future!

100% of the proceeds raised are given back to our service members to lessen the burdens they and their families face on a day to day basis. I personally fight to break down the stigma around mental health and put an end to the 22 service members who take their own lives every day. Together we can make a change! - KJ
