The McKee Family
The Heroes @ Home Golf Tournament is underwritten and hosted by The McKee Family Foundation, which is dedicated to giving back to the community through charitable giving and volunteer work. Our family has a long history and close family connection to America’s Armed Services, and thus have dedicated much effort to honoring, and assisting our veterans, as they return from combat and reintegrate into civilian life. It is our hope that we can help make a few of their lives just a little bit easier through our efforts.
