The Memorial at the United States Air Force Academy is a charitable event held in honor of fallen cadets and graduates who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our great nation. Proceeds benefit the Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization which provides educational scholarships to children and spouses of fallen and wounded veterans.

Established in 2007 by Lt Col Dan Rooney, the foundation has awarded over 35,000 scholarships. We urge you to become a wingman, join the mission, and stand with the Folds of Honor!

The Memorial features a traditional 18 hole, 4 man scramble, and includes breakfast, lunch, door prizes, silent auction, and awards ceremony. Our guest speaker is Lt Col Dan Rooney, founder and CEO of the Folds of Honor. Lt Col Rooney is a decorated Air Force fighter pilot assigned to the 301st Fighter Squadron at Eglin AFB, FL and a PGA Professional.  Additionally, a concert will take place following the tournament at Boot Barn Hall.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Air Force Academy Athletic Corporation. The AFAAC assists the U.S. Air Force Academy with the development, funding and operations of intercollegiate athletic programs to build future leaders of character for our nation. During 2020-2021, the AFAAC funded over $20 million in equipment, uniforms, coaching services, logistical, and recruiting support to the Air Force Academy and defrayed $3.9 million in taxpayer expenses for the Academy’s 1200 Division I intercollegiate cadet athletes.

This is a Private Organization and is not a part of the Department of Defense or any of its components, and it has no governmental status.
