A note from Robin Kelleher Co-Founder and President, Hope For The Warriors I want to thank you for sponsoring the Hope For The Warriors Invitational. Your support of this event allows us to continue making an impact on the lives of our service members, veterans, military families, and families of the fallen. The support over the years from the Murphy Family Foundation, River Landing Country Club, Johnny Bench & Doug Flynn, the Military Flag Officers, our event sponsors, and participants, have helped make this annual event one of the most memorable of our signature fundraisers. This multi-day event includes many unique experiences that makes it one not to be missed. Warrior Night kicks off the Invitational. The evening is a borrowed tradition of ceremonial dining. Originally a British Army tradition, it has become an honored ritual of enjoying drinks, good food, and fellowship. But beware! Guests often find themselves in outrageous situations to be levied and fined! There is a serious side too as we pay homage to those who have served and are serving through toasts given by members of the mess. It is a hearty feast, so come prepared to drink and enjoy the camaraderie. The opportunity to take part in a night usually shared by only those in the military, makes this evening unique and special. The following day is the golf tournament and the awards. Experience all that the beautiful River Landing Country Club has to offer with unique experiences not typical to other tournaments. What makes this tournament special is the AR15 golf ball launcher shooting hole, the dessert holes and, most importantly, golfing alongside our nation s heroes. On the third and final day you will get to experience a Day in the Life of a Marine. Visit with Marines who will walk you through their day, from weapons training to mess hall dining you, will receive the full treatment and interact with some incredible American heroes. Thank you again for joining us for the 2017 Hope For The Warriors Invitational. ~ Robin Kelleher
