HERNDON, Va., April 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Valiant and The Valiant Foundation announced today the selection of Team Rubicon and Warriors Ethos as the Foundation’s core charitable partners. Valiant is also excited to announce the second annual Valiant Charity Golf Classic, which will be held on Sept. 7, 2023, at Lansdowne Golf Resort in Leesburg, Va., and benefit these and other charitable organizations.
Team Rubicon is a veteran-led humanitarian organization that serves global communities before, during, and after disasters and crises. Founded following the Haiti earthquake in 2010, the organization has grown to more than 150,000 volunteers across the United States and has launched over 1,100 operations domestically and internationally. Warriors Ethos is a nonprofit organization that provides assistance in the career planning, professional development, and placement of service members, veterans, and their spouses and caregivers, throughout their transition into civilian life. The ultimate goal of Warriors Ethos is to ensure that every service member participating in the program achieves a successful job placement.
"Valiant has a long-standing tradition of supporting the causes that our employees are passionate about, and we’re excited to partner with Team Rubicon and Warriors Ethos and support the incredible work both of these organizations are doing every day,” John Hart, Valiant's Chief Growth Officer and President of the Valiant Foundation, said. “The proceeds from this year’s event will support both of these charities and other well-deserving causes.”
The 2022 Golf Classic raised nearly $100,000 in proceeds, and all proceeds of this year’s event will benefit The Valiant Foundation, Team Rubicon, and Warriors Ethos.
