Event Summary

Salute to America’s Heroes was a milestone charity golf tournament celebrating the 10-year anniversary of American Military Family, an organization dedicated to supporting military families through resources, advocacy, and community-based programs. The organization engaged Colorado Under Par specifically to help identify the right golf course partner and execute a targeted golfer outreach strategy with one clear goal: sell out the field.

Through coordinated planning, venue alignment, and focused marketing efforts, the event successfully transformed an anniversary celebration into a fully realized fundraising and community experience.
