A morning tradition with Sugar House Distillery. 🥃✨

The Russ Groves Memorial wouldn’t be the same without our friends at Sugar House Distillery. They have been a dedicated sponsor for years, and they are the force behind our Bloody Mary Morning.

Sugar House Distillery understands that honoring our first responders is a community-wide mission. Their long-term support helps us set the stage for a day of remembrance and brotherhood, ensuring the tradition Russ loved stays alive and well.

Thank you to the Sugar House Distillery team for your unwavering commitment and for consistently showing up for Utah's first responder community. 🦁💪

We serve the living to honor the fallen. 🇺🇸

Last year, Lionheart Gift Foundation stood with the Salt Lake Honor Guard to ensure our heroes receive the dignity and respect they’ve earned. This mission is only possible because this community shows up for events like the Russ Groves Golf Memorial.

Though registration is closed, you can still be part of this legacy through our remaining sponsorship roles. 💪

Today, we honor every Lionheart across Utah- active duty, retired, and survivors- from the fire line to the police line, and the dispatch center to the military base.

Your courage doesn't mean you aren't afraid of the call; it means you show up anyway.
We see you, we honor your triumph, and we are here to ensure your foundation is as strong as your service. 🇺🇸

While the field is full, the mission is just getting started. The revenue generated from this tournament is the direct capital we use to step in when a local hero faces a crisis. Your corporate sponsorships and direct donations are what allow us to look a first responder family in the eye and say, "We've got you."

When you partner with Lionheart Gift Foundation, you are funding a pipeline of support that runs all year long, including:
-Emergency home and vehicle structural restorations when hardships strike.
-Scholarship funds for the training of next-generation First Responders in Utah.
-Critical holiday support for local Veteran families during the Christmas season.

The Russ Groves Golf Memorial is a phenomenal celebration of brotherhood, but the ripple effect lasts for months to come. Team spots may be gone, but your business can still stand as a corporate pillar on the green.

Can’t make it to the tournament this July? You can invest directly in the mission today. Every dollar stays right here in Utah to protect the protectors.

Every time a participating agent closes a deal, a portion is directly reinvested into the restoration of our local heroes. This isn't a one-time gesture, it is a business model built on the principle of service.

With their leadership serving as our Founder and on our Board, the mission remains clear. We are proud to work alongside a team that understands the value of home, and the importance of protecting those who protect ours.

"What does a Lionheart sponsorship actually fund?" 🛠️

We believe in results-oriented philanthropy. When you or your business sponsors Lionheart Gift Foundation, you aren't just a logo on a sign, you are a solution for a local hero.

Your support goes directly toward mission-critical needs, like funding the Russ Groves Scholarship for new recruits, helping Veteran families during the Christmas season, providing emergency home and vehicle repairs for responders in a hard spot and so much more.

We match your generosity with the real, tangible needs of Utah’s protectors.

Honoring tradition with the Antica Sicilia family. 🍝🦁

At Lionheart Gift Foundation, we look for partners who understand the value of family, legacy, and serving the community with excellence. That is why we are incredibly proud to highlight the trio of award-winning Italian restaurants backing the Russ Groves Memorial this year: Antica Sicilia, Sicilia Mia, and Basta Pasteria.

As a family-owned group, they pour unmatched dedication into everything they create, from their authentic, house-made pastas to the welcoming environments they build for Utah families. Their generous corporate sponsorship provides the vital funding we need to restore stability for our local protectors when hardships hit.

Whether you are enjoying a meal at Antica Sicilia, treating the family at Sicilia Mia, or sharing a table at Basta Pasteria, you are supporting a team that actively stands behind Utah's first responders and veteran families.

Thank you to the entire crew for your commitment to the mission and for helping us keep the Golf Memorial tradition thriving.

Can’t make it to the greens this July? You can join our corporate partners in standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our local heroes by investing directly in the mission today.

The Russ Groves Golf Memorial is more than just a day on the course. It’s the engine that fuels our mission year-round. 🎗️
