Golf Sponsorships

The Bay Frog Open Golf Outing benefits Uncommon Grit SEAL Foundation, supporting military, veterans, first responders, and their families through direct assistance, trusted partnerships, and care that meets real needs. Here in Erie, this event also creates meaningful local impact.

Last year, support from the Bay Frog Open swim and golf outing helped us donate $29,000 to the Erie DAV/VA, closing the gap on funding for a new wheelchair-accessible van to transport veterans to the care they’ve earned. Your sponsorship helps create an exceptional day on the course while carrying that mission forward long after the event ends.

 

Why your sponsorship matters

Your support helps us create a high-quality event while also funding real impact for military, veterans, first responders, and their families. Through Uncommon Grit SEAL Foundation, that impact includes both local support in Erie and broader mission work focused on helping people heal, stabilize, and reconnect.

  • Local impact in Erie has included support for the Erie DAV/VA, Malone Family Foundation, and Pittsburgh Warriors, including funding for veteran transportation and mental health initiatives through hockey.

  • Nearly $827,000 deployed since 2020 through Uncommon Grit SEAL Foundation.

  • Support directed toward needs such as mental health and recovery resources, housing and food assistance, service dog support, technology access, and community connection.
