What's Different

Charity Golf Is Everywhere. This One's Different.

Locally Founded

A locally founded nonprofit with a track record of funding tangible, named projects, not pass-through donations to national organizations.

Real Face Time

A capped field of 25 teams means real face time with sponsors and players, not a crowded cattle call.

A Premium Audience

Idaho Falls Country Club hosts a premium audience: business owners, executives, and decision-makers.

Real Marketing Reach

A digital-first marketing rollout across Wolf Radio, Local News 8, East Idaho News, and Centre Twin and Movie Mill theaters in Idaho Falls and Blackfoot.

Who We Fund

Community-Level Impact

Heroes Defense is a locally founded nonprofit that supports first responders, military personnel, and veterans through community-level impact. We don't write checks to national pass-through charities. We fund the equipment, training, and recognition the people down the street actually need.

Recent & Active Projects

  • AEDs placed in local fire departments.
  • Vehicle extrication tools that cut rescue times from 3–5 minutes to 30 seconds.
  • $50,000 mobile training containers for hands-on first responder training.
  • Two Towers 9/11 Memorial.
  • HD Thank You Program for first responders and military.
  • Mary Payne Scholarship for retired working canines.
  • Field Artillery Appreciation Ball, with HD covering all ticket costs so soldiers attend at no personal cost.
  • Station floor refinishing for local fire departments.

Where Your Sponsorship Goes

Sponsorship dollars do not fund overhead and salaries. They fund the next AED, the next training container, the next extrication tool. When you sponsor a hole, you are funding equipment that a first responder will use to save a life. That is the story we tell the audience, and it is the story we tell your customers.
