There are many ways you can participate in or help the SMGA. Direct monetary contributions, with checks made payable to the Salute Military Golf Association, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt corporation, are greatly appreciated. Contributions are used to purchase specialized golf equipment, defray instructional expenses, and subsidize green fees for recovering soldiers.

The SMGA also encourages local communities to support the family-friendly fundraising events it sponsors throughout the year. For those in the golf profession, volunteer to support fundraising events or help instruct soldiers.

The SMGA needs your assistance in gaining access to golf facilities across the country for our wounded soldiers. Please join our efforts to incorporate the game of golf into the lives of our military men and women who love the game.
