VISIT TO LUKE AIR FORCE BASE

The unique aspect of this Championship is that the players, in addition to competing in a 54-hole stroke-play tournament, also honor our military heroes. At the opening ceremony, each golfer receives and carries a commemorative PING golf bag that bears the name and branch of a fallen or wounded hero. Additionally, all of the golfers have the opportunity to visit Luke Air Force Base, the training center for our nation’s F-16 and F-35 fighter pilots. There, they meet with the General, fighter pilots and crew, and tour the base while participating inactivities rarely seen by civilians.

Sponsorship Opportunities

For the past 14 years, the west valley has hosted the annual Patriot All-America Invitational. Our first event in 2011 consisted of 84 male collegians. Over the years, in partnership with the West Valley Mavericks, it has grown to 84 men, 72 women playing 54 holes at the Wigwam and 72 men at Sterling Grove in Surprise.

The Mavericks have expanded the opportunities to engage the west valley. Things like an AM/AM, VIP viewing in various locations of the golf course where you can cheer on the future pros; a Veteran’s Village sponsored by USAA providing free entry and food to veterans and first responders; the Patriot Unplugged, a live performance featuring Christopher Shaying.

This has all been accomplished through the generosity and support of the Goodyear and Surprise communitites. You know the term “it takes a village….”
