The Yellow Ribbon Fund was created in early 2005 to assist our injured service members and their families while they recuperate at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center. Our mission began when the father of an injured Marine introduced two of our volunteers to staff at Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval and they told us what needs were not met by other donors.
In little over three years contributions made through the Yellow Ribbon Fund have provided the following for injured
service members and their families: over 700 free rental cars spanning more than 35,000 days; over 9,000 free taxi rides;
over 2,800 free hotel room nights; 38 families have used our five apartments for almost 3,000 nights; hundreds of free
tickets to sporting games, concerts and plays, and hundreds of lunches, dinners, golf games, duck and goose hunts, fishing
trips, and other activities.
Golf Tournament for Injured Service Members
Foursomes and sponsorship opportunities are available for the 1st Annual Yellow Ribbon Fund/Army Navy Country Club Charity Golf Classic for Injured Service Members. The tournament will be held on Monday, July 21 at the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, Va.
Join us for an outstanding day of golf, camaraderie, networking and support of our injured service members. Our goal is to have each foursome include one injured service member. This is a terrific way to welcome them home and provide a day out to aid in their rehabilitation.
