Armed Forces Day weekend traditionally marks the Nine Line Foundation’s Annual 5K/10K Run for the Wounded, our biggest fundraising event of the year. This year, we were honored to receive the support of THREE fundraising events over the course of Friday, May 17th and Saturday, May 18th, and, with the support of individuals (like you!), we were able to raise over $167,000 for our Veterans Village initiative!
2019 Holes Fore Heroes Golf Tournament
Nine Line Foundation was honored to be the recipient of the Annual Holes Fore Heroes Golf Tournament for the 2nd year in a row. In partnership with the Coastal Georgia Apartment Association, and a resounding support from the Low Country community, $9,000 was raised for homeless veterans! We are so appreciative of the continued support of the CGAA, as well as the Josh Reddick Foundation, our breakfast sponsor for the tournament!

1st Annual Nine Line Foundation Benefit Dinner
Our first annual Nine Line Foundation benefit dinner was a rousing success, in large part to our wonderful MC and auctioneer extraordinaire, Nine Line Apparel’s own Matthew Lyda, and with many, many thanks to everyone who shared their evening with us – and to the special folks who flew in to make celebrity appearances throughout the weekend -“The Undertaker”, Dustin Rhodes (Goldust), John Tiegen, Chad Prather, Graham Allen and Brett Meyers.
We’re also very, very grateful to a wonderful local businessman, Paul Thigpen, who really put his checkbook to good use and has been a wonderful supporter of Nine Line Foundation!
We raised $38,750 from the raffle / auction prizes donated for the evening’s event!
