PenFed Returns as Presenting Sponsor of the “We Salute Our Heroes” Tribute Wall 2012 “We Salute Our Heroes” Tribute Wall
Alexandria, Va. (PRWEB) June 24, 2013 Fans attending the 2013 AT&T National at Congressional Country Club will once again see a special tribute to the United States Military near the 18th green. Donning flags and seals from each branch of the military, The We Salute Our Heroes tribute wall, which debuted at the 2011 AT&T National in Philadelphia, gives fans the chance to write a personal message of thanks and support for the men and women who serve in the military. PenFed (Pentagon Federal Credit Union), one of the nation’s largest credit unions, the PenFed Foundation and Prudential PenFed Realty will again serve as the presenting sponsors of the We Salute Our Heroes tribute wall; ensuring the wildly-popular tribute will continue to be a part of the tournament’s military activities. Sharpie® generously donated thousands of markers, courtesy of Newell Rubbermaid, to be used at the tournament. “It is our pleasure and a privilege to be the presenting sponsor of the We Salute Our Heroes tribute wall,” said Frank Pollack, president & chief executive officer of PenFed. “It gives members of the public an opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to those who serve our country in such an honorable way.” “We are very excited to be part of one of the country’s top golfing events,” said PenFed Foundation President Christopher Flynn. “The tournament will be a great way for PenFed supporters to have fun, while helping raise money for the men and women of our armed forces who need help.” “Prudential PenFed Realty is honored to be a part of this great tournament in support of the military families who sacrifice so much to protect our liberty,” said Kevin Wiles, president of Prudential PenFed Realty. “It is a great opportunity to give back to our military.” Last year, the We Salute Our Heroes tribute wall made its Congressional Country Club debut with the help of PenFed. After the tournament concluded, sections of the tribute wall were framed and delivered to local military outlets in the Washington, D.C. area. Thanks to the generous donation from Sharpie®, thousands excitedly participated in this unique tribute including fans, caddies, volunteers and PGA TOUR players such as 2012 Champion Tiger Woods, Jimmy Walker, Billy Hurley III and John Huh. Due to the overwhelming response, the tournament filled five large canvases with personal messages of thanks. Furthermore to giving away portions of the 2012 tribute wall to military outlets, this year PenFed will be giving away a one of a kind 40 x 48 inch framed portion of the 2012 We Salute Our Heroes tribute wall in its tribute wall giveaway on its Facebook page. In addition to honoring the military, the AT&T National also raises funds and awareness for the college-access programs of the Tiger Woods Foundation and local charities.
