Knight Federal Participates as Gold Level Sponsor

Golfers from businesses across Central Florida participated in the 8th annual Veterans Day Golf Tournament to benefit Fairways for Warriors Orlando Chapter. The event was held on Friday, November 8, 2018, at the Eagle Creek Golf Club in Orlando. This year’s event was sold out and raised more than $50K – setting a new record!.

“Fairways for Warriors is significantly changing and saving the lives of our nation’s combat wounded veterans and their families. We are so fortunate to be a corporate sponsor for this annual event and take pride in helping those that have sacrificed so much for us,” says event organizer and Knight Federal’s CEO Chris Baeten.

Fairways for Warriors is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit organization dedicated to providing a better quality of life for the nation’s wounded veterans by using golf and golf instruction to wounded service personnel and their family members.

Golf has proven to be an excellent tool for mental and physical rehabilitation, and Fairways for Warriors is giving these brave men and women the opportunity to heal from their most significant injuries – unseen injuries such as depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), etc.

Knight Federal’s community involvement is far-reaching. Its employees do not immerse themselves in these organizations for the accolades that often come with such involvement, but instead are truly grateful for they have and want to give back in any way possible. The organizations listed in this article are not included as a bragging right but are included because Knight Federal wants to get the word out about the invaluable services these organizations are providing and to help spread the word and encourage others to get involved. “We can only become better people, a better community, and a better country through our efforts to help others,” says Chris Baeten, Knight Federal’s CEO.

Baeten lives by example as he currently serves as a board member to Fairways for Warriors, a non-profit organization that supports local combat wounded veterans by providing mentorship and camaraderie through the game of golf. As the tournament chair for the group’s annual Veteran’s Day golf tournament, which is its largest fundraiser, Baeten has helped to raise more than $100K over the past two years, of which Knight Federal is a corporate sponsor.
