The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and PXG have matched $10 million in donations to The Fund, providing continued support to service members, veterans, and military families.
Camp Pendleton, CA (Jan. 16, 2024) — For the 13th year, Semper Fi & America’s Fund (The Fund) partnered with The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation (The Foundation) and PXG (Parsons Xtreme Golf) for the Double Down for Veterans Match Campaign. In just two months, the campaign raised $28.8 million, including a $10 million donation match from The Foundation and PXG. All proceeds from the campaign will go directly towards supporting service members, veterans, and military families across all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.
“For many of our service members, the effects of their injuries last a lifetime. The continued support from our donors and organizations like The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and PXG allow us to be there for our veterans and military families as long as they need us,” said Karen Guenther, President, CEO, and Founder of Semper Fi & America’s Fund. “It has been a true honor to work with Bob and Renee over the past 13 years to provide lifetime support to our military families.”
Since 2012, the Double Down for Veterans Match Campaign has raised $249 million to benefit the veteran community, thanks to the generous support of our donors and the matching contributions from The Foundation and PXG.
“When service members return home, support from their community is crucial,” said Bob Parsons, U.S. Marine Corps Vietnam War Veteran. “Through our partnership with Semper Fi & America’s Fund, we aim to remind veterans and their families that they are never alone—and that the support they need continues long after service.”
The Fund, which began in 2004, was started by military spouses who stepped in to provide assistance to injured service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Since then, The Fund has provided more than $500 million in grants, programs, and services, assisting over 33,000 combat-wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families.
“Mental, physical, and spiritual well-being are all essential for those on the road to recovery,” said Renee Parsons, Co-founder of The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and Chief Marketing Officer of PXG. “What makes Semper Fi & America’s Fund so unique is its holistic approach to healing, ensuring that service members have access to all the resources they need for a lifetime.”
