Thank you Raymond James Valor for hosting the 8th Annual Valor Golf Fundraiser for all the 36 nonprofits that the event will help give a boost!

Over $445,000 was raised by sponsors, donors, raffle ticket and silent auction sales to make this event the largest giving year that Valor has ever had for this golf tournament.

Many thanks to Mercy Ashton from Raymond James Valor who drew in celebrity talent, phenomenal military speakers, and large corporations that make a difference to our nonprofits across the nation.

Much appreciation to the Florida Respect and Remember Team, Dee Brooks and Mark Selph, that joined me on this beautiful day of Florida golfing with a cause at the Copperhead Course found at Innisbrook Golf Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida.

BEST NEWS OF THE DAY!!!

Chief Melendez of Gibbs High School JROTC of St. Petersburg, Florida just received her Carebox overseas around Iran! She is the only active duty JROTC senior instructor that The Respect and Remember serves that is not a retired veteran serving in a JROTC program. When Chief Melendez was called back to active duty from her Gibbs High School JROTC program, we were deeply saddened. But the JROTC cadets and the R2Factor Foundation have rallied to support her until she comes back home to us safely with her teammates. Much Love, Chief Melendez! We Miss You! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

Help the R2Factor send out more Careboxes to our troops! Send your donation to R2Factor.org under the Donation tab. Thank you!

Mike and Sarah Goodson create beautiful quilts to give to one Red Banks enlisting JROTC cadet in Chattanooga, Tennessee that has been selected each year at graduation by their commander for the Army SSG Ryan Christian Knauss merit scholarship. They are a deeply patriotic couple and show that the talent The Lord places in your hands can make a difference in ways you cannot fathom. Well Done, Mike! 🇺🇸
