On Thursday, August 28th, nearly 100 golfers gathered at the beautiful Sand Ridge Golf
Club for NEOPAT’s Annual Golf Outing. It was a day filled with camaraderie,
competition, and a shared commitment to supporting veterans and military families
across Northeast Ohio.
Players enjoyed a round on one of the region’s premier courses while also taking part in
the Fore the Troops Challenges, which added an extra layer of excitement to the day.
Whether competing for closest-to-the-pin, testing their drives, or enjoying the friendly
rivalries on the greens, participants played with purpose—knowing their efforts would
directly benefit those who have served our country.
This year’s outing would not have been possible without the support of our Presenting
Sponsor, Carroll Glass. Their generosity and leadership helped set the stage for an
incredible day and a successful fundraiser that will make a lasting difference in the lives
of veterans and military families.
We were also honored to welcome Brian Swick, Founder of All-American Rucks, who
shared his powerful story of partnership with NEOPAT. Brian spoke about his mission to
honor his friend, Army Staff Sgt. Kyle McKee, who made the ultimate sacrifice while
serving our nation. His words reminded us of the profound purpose behind our
gathering: to remember, to honor, and to ensure that the families of our heroes receive
the support they deserve.
Thanks to the collective efforts of our sponsors, golfers, and volunteers, this year’s
outing raised critical funds that will fuel NEOPAT’s emergency assistance programs,
family support initiatives, and community outreach. Together, we are helping to keep the
promise of standing by our veterans and military families in times of need.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us, contributed, and helped
make this year’s Golf Outing such a resounding success. Your support ensures that the
spirit of service and sacrifice is honored—not just on the golf course, but every day
throughout our community.
We look forward to seeing you at next year’s outing as we continue to rally together for
those who have given so much.
