The Nov. 19 fundraiser at The Westin Kierland Golf Course in Scottsdale brought together 33 industry companies and 150 golfers in support of more than 200 nonprofits nationwide, including 17 in Arizona.
“Seeing so many people come together in support of our mission is truly inspiring,” said Hank Brasch, President of the Board for The Rosendin Foundation said in a statement.
A highlight of the tournament was the presentation of a $50,000 grant to Debbie Lee, founder of America's Mighty Warriors. This helps veterans in Arizona and across the country gain access to resources to help treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD and other brain injuries while in combat.
The $50,000 grant to America's Mighty Warriors is part of The Foundation's $253,000 in grants distributed to Arizona nonprofits in November.
“Losing my son Marc, the first Navy SEAL killed in Iraq in 2006, was the hardest thing I could ever imagine, but his tragic loss inspired me to launch America's Mighty Warriors,” said Debbie Lee, founder of America's Mighty Warriors said in a statement.
The Rosendin Foundation is on track to distribute $2.5 million to nonprofits nationwide in 2025, including $50,000 grants to HomePlate Youth Services in Hillsboro, Song for Charlie in Anaheim, and Assisting Lives in Las Vegas. These top-tier level grants will help each organization expand its programs, serving more people and positively impacting communities.
“Participating in this annual fundraiser goes beyond the game of golf. It's about fostering real change in the communities where Rosendin and its employees live and work,” said Keith Douglas, Rosendin CEO.
Since 2020, the Foundation has donated over $6.7 million to 500 nonprofits nationwide in communities where Rosendin employees live and work. Grant and emergency grant applications are available on the foundation’s website at https://www.therosendinfoundation.org/grants.
Annual grant applications are due June 1, and nonprofits can apply anytime for one-time emergency grants up to $5,000 to help organizations through unforeseen circumstances.
