The Folds of Honor Collegiate aims to raise awareness and funds for Folds of Honor, an organization dedicated to providing educational scholarships to the children and spouses of fallen or disabled military personnel and first responders.
Since its inception in 2007, Folds of Honor has changed lives by awarding scholarships to 3,792 students, contributing an extraordinary $17.5 million in educational support. With 730 recipients currently enrolled in the institutions represented at this year’s tournament, the impact keeps growing—over $3.3 million has been given to support their education during the 2024-25 academic year!
Major Sponsors on Board
Major sponsors stepping up to support this noble cause include Michelob ULTRA, Sinclair Oil, Sedgwick, Titleist, and Compliance Solutions. Special recognition goes to Anheuser-Busch, which has contributed an astounding $33 million since 2011 towards providing scholarships through Folds of Honor.
A Tribute to Heroes
This year’s event coincides closely with the anniversary of 9/11, making it an even more poignant tribute to the sacrifices made for American freedom. Teams participating come into the event with impressive credentials: 19 teams showcased their skills at the 2025 NCAA Regionals, with eight advancing to the NCAA Championships—truly a remarkable testament to their talent.
Defending Champions and New Faces
