Semper Fi & America\u2019s Fund (The Fund) is proud to announce that The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation<\/a> has issued its 9th<\/sup> annual challenge to raise $20 million through its Double Down for Veterans Match Campaign. All donations made November 1 through December 31, 2020 to The Fund, which is one of the nation\u2019s top-rated charities, will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $10 million by The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBob and Renee\u2019s extraordinary generosity has no bounds,\u201d said Semper Fi & America\u2019s Fund President, CEO and Founder Karen Guenther. \u201cWe are deeply grateful for all they do for our military and their families. 2020 has seen unprecedented events and changes but The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation has never wavered in its support of The Gift of Connection that The Fund makes possible for our service members and their families.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grant will support The Fund\u2019s mission to provide urgently needed resources and lifetime support for combat wounded, critically ill and catastrophically injured service members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. Programs work to assist the service member \u2013 and family unit – from injury through recovery, aid in the transition back into the community and provide wellness tools for body, mind and spirit. 

To help The Fund reach its goal, the Double Down for Veterans campaign is also being supported by PXG<\/a>. PXG was founded in 2014 by Bob Parsons<\/a> out of a desire to make the world\u2019s best golf equipment and apparel. PXG leverages breakthrough technology with sophisticated manufacturing processes to produce some of the finest golf clubs in the world.  

\u201cThe impact of war can be seen in the physical and mental battle wounds our country\u2019s veterans, and their families, cope with every day,\u201d said Marine Corps Vietnam Combat Veteran and Founder & CEO of PXG Bob Parsons. \u201cSemper Fi & America\u2019s Fund provides the assistance and critical resources they need to heal.\u201d   

The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation is a long-time partner to The Fund and, since 2012, the Double Down for Veterans campaign has generated more than $122 million in support of service members and their families.

\u201cThis year, the onset of coronavirus has drastically changed life for all of us. Unfortunately, it has been particularly difficult for military families,\u201d said President & Executive Creative Director of PXG Apparel Renee Parsons<\/a>. \u201cThe men and women who serve our country, and the families who support them, need our help now more than ever. Every dollar counts. Join us in the Double Down for Veterans challenge and double your impact today.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From injury through recovery, The Fund\u2019s comprehensive programs improve the lives of wounded veterans and address the unique needs of their immediate families so that no one is left behind. Donations to the Double Down for Veterans Match campaign can be made online at TheFund.org<\/a>.
