Our Story

From service to a mission of hope.

Built on service. Driven by purpose.

Founded by a retired U.S. Army Sergeant First Class, Fairways Forward Foundation grew from a deeply personal understanding of the challenges that can follow military service and emergency response.

What began with a charity golf tournament, Tournament for a Cause, at Stonebridge Golf Club in Monroe, North Carolina, developed into a broader commitment to education, outreach, and compassionate support for veterans, service members, first responders, and their families.

Today, the foundation works to connect people with credible resources, encourage honest conversations about trauma, mental health, and substance use, and provide carefully supervised charitable assistance.

We believe moving forward is easier when we move together.
