Stairway For Heroes

Thankful Thursday #21

Today we are thankful for every golfer, sponsor, volunteer, veteran, partner, and supporter who helped make our 3rd Annual Stairway For Heroes for Golf Tournament our best one yet 🙏❤️🤍💙

From the moment registration opened to the final putt, this event was a reminder of what can happen when a community comes together around a shared mission 🇺🇸🤝.

Because of your support, we were able to bring together veterans, business leaders, and members of our Tampa Bay community for a day filled with camaraderie, relationships, laughter, and purpose. Seeing the course filled with over 120 golfers, smiling faces, and people supporting one another was something special.

We say it all the time and this tournament proved it once again: what we are building is bigger than golf. We are building community. We are building relationships. We are creating opportunities and making a difference one veteran at a time.

To everyone who believed in us, invested in us, and stood beside us… thank you. We could not do this without you 🙏⛳️

But after all of that, the most meaningful moment of the day had nothing to do with golf. ❤️🐾

Together, we were able to present a deserving veteran with an emotional support Golden Retriever 🐶, a moment that reminded all of us exactly why Stairway For Heroes exists and why this mission is bigger than a golf tournament.

It is not only about Special Operations. It is not about officers or enlisted. It is not about Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard. It is about our veterans. 🇺🇸

We will continue to fight the fight against the invisible, one veteran at a time. 👏

The photos captured by our Executive Director tell part of the story, and we cannot wait to see what MiJo Productions captured because we know some unforgettable moments were documented throughout the day. 📸🎥

Thank you to every golfer, sponsor, volunteer, partner, and supporter who helped make this possible.♥️🤍💙⚓️

Thankful Thursday

Today we are thankful for Gary Hartfield ⛳️🙏.

As Gary continues his campaign for Tampa Mayor in 2027, we are grateful that he also chose to support our mission this year as a Patriot Sponsor, helping sponsor the Stairway for Heroes veteran team for tomorrow’s golf tournament 🇺🇸🤝.

Support like this goes far beyond sponsorship. It creates opportunities for veterans to be part of a day centered around community, camaraderie, and connection.

One of the things we appreciate most is when leaders in our community believe in what we are building and choose to invest directly into the veterans we serve. That support never goes unnoticed.

As we prepare for tomorrow’s sold out 3rd Annual Golf Tournament, we are incredibly thankful for everyone who helped make this event possible and cannot wait to bring our community together for another amazing day ⛳️🙌.❤️🤍💙🙏✨
