Fourth Annual Golf Tournament
We are excited for you to join us on May 7, 2024, for the Fourth Annual National Medal of Honor Heritage Center Golf Tournament!
Join us for a day of philanthropy, fun, and friendly competition at Sweetens Cove Golf Club, nestled in the beautiful Sequatchie Valley in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, one of the most sought-after tee times in the United States and the host of last year’s tournament.
We are also excited to be joined by Medal of Honor Recipient Sergeant Major Thomas P. Payne at this year’s tournament. SGM Payne was awarded the Medal for his actions on October 22, 2015, during a daring nighttime hostage rescue in Kirkuk Province, Iraq, as part of Operation INHERENT RESOLVE. Leading a team, he swiftly cleared a building, liberating 38 hostages. Upon hearing a call for help to clear another building, he fearlessly moved through enemy fire, climbed a flaming roof, and engaged enemy fighters. Payne entered the burning building multiple times, risking his life to free 37 hostages by cutting locks despite intense gunfire. His heroic actions led to the liberation of 75 hostages and the elimination of 20 enemy combatants during a fiercely contested mission. SGM Payne is still serving in the Army today.
The golf tournament serves as one of the Heritage Center’s premier fundraising events. All proceeds from the tournament benefit the mission and work of the Heritage Center as we educate the next generation about the Medal of Honor, its recipients, and the character values they embody.
We know this is a worthwhile fundraising event you do not want to miss, and we can’t wait to see you there!
More information regarding sponsoring the tournament and team registration will be available soon. For any questions, please contact the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center at 423-877-2525 or email Development@MOHHC.org.
