Military Heroes – Birdies for the Brave

Phil Mickelson

Phil Mickelson has been a huge supporter of Homes For Our Troops through Birdies for the Brave, a non-profit organization established by Mickelson and his wife, Amy to provide support for U.S. troops and their families. Each season, Mickelson donates $100 for each birdie and $500 for each eagle he makes on the PGA TOUR. Mickelson’s efforts also raised substantial additional contributions as people across the country joined him in supporting our troops by hosting golf tournaments of their own and donating the proceeds to Homes For Our Troops. Homes For Our Troops builds new homes and adapts existing homes for handicap accessibility for veterans whohave returned from combat with serious injuries and disabilities. Homes For Our Troops uses donations of home construction materials and labor as well as monetary contributions to adapt and build these homes at no cost to the veteran.
