Tee It Up For The Troops TEE IT UP FOR THE TROOPS is a 501c(3) non-profit organization established by the family and friends of a soldier serving in the U.S. Army. When the father asked what the son needed he responded by asking his father to do something for the soldiers and families of the fallen and disabled back home. TEE IT UP FOR THE TROOPS, INC, was created to help honor that request, and to honor and recognize the needs of all veterans who have served this nation. visit website
Pedaling For Patriots A bike ride across our great country has alwaysbeen a dream for Rob Richer. He hoped to complete the ride in the first few months after retiring from the CIA in 2005 but the need to become established in the business world precluded the trip. In late 2009, he began to discuss the trip again. Kim volunteered to ride with him (yes, she truly volunteered) and suggested that the ride not just be about their personal quest but be dedicated to a charitable cause. After the tragic loss of CIA officers in Khost, Afghanistan in December 2009, the right cause became clear: to support the families of fallen CIA officers who died in the service of our country. visit website
Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation To encourage the spiritual, moral, intellectual and physical development of children through education. This Foundation was formed in February of 1995 by former Marines and law enforcement personnel who strongly believe that our nation’s most precious resource is its youth. The recent war in Iraq has certainly illuminated America’s commitment to freedom. We are reminded that freedom is not free. The price is great. No one knows that better than the left-behind sons and daughters of America’s fallen heroes.Through the continuous support of our donors, we have distributed aid with a value of more than $40,000,000.00 to eligible children. visit website
