The right to be free and safe from harm is not free, and it’s not without sacrifice from those who have given their all to keep us safe from domestic and/or foreign conflicts and the everyday perils that happen all too frequently on our streets! We, Patriot Sporting Challenge, salute these heroes, both our military veterans and our first responders. Every one of us has the opportunity to serve, even if it’s not in battle or responding to emergencies in our neighborhoods. On June 1st,  2024, 350 people did stand up and serve with their financial support and willingness to give of their time and help with our 6th Year Anniversary of the Patriot Sporting Challenge event. Our 2024 event was once again a fantastic testament to the generosity of our supporters and a wonderful thing to witness!

It was the first time since 2017 when the Challenge began that we experienced twice as many golfing participants as anglers:

• 104 golfers

• 52 anglers

• 350 caring and supporting individuals attending our afternoon/evening “Celebration of Patriotism”

• Record receipts from people who opened up their hearts and their wallets, our largest $ support ever

• Record receipts from the on-line auction

For the Patriot Sporting Challenge, it was a distinct honor to be able to distribute your dollars of support to not just one major charitable beneficiary, but : Heroes Ranch, a great local charity lodged here in Wood County which provides a remarkable outdoor living experience for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. We are proud to announce a second charitable beneficiary joining us in 2026: Purple Heart Homes, a national organization which provides housing, repairs, and support for our heroes. Both of these organizations fit our charter and provide services of tremendous support to our military heroes, our first responders, and their families.

We are looking forward to 2026, when we can provide another great opportunity for everyone to get involved in supporting our Heroes.
