the why
Throughout the past quarter-century, the tournament has generated over $2.1 million. Originally, the Colonel’s Challenge was started as a way to raise money for the spouses and children of Troopers who had died in the line of duty. Today, all funds raised continue to assist the families of fallen officers, and now also supplement a multitude of other opportunities for Troopers, such as:
Providing them with financial support during difficult times
Underwriting their costs for access to cutting-edge mental health services
Offering higher education scholarships to qualifying CSP Association members and their families.
Tournament proceeds benefit the Colorado State Patrol Family Foundation, which directly supports the mission and efforts of CSP.
are you aware?
In addition to supporting the Colonel’s Challenge as a golfer on one of the most beautiful courses in the world, there are other ways that you can help Troopers, as well as pay tribute to the thirty CSP heroes who, since 1941, have died in the line of duty. Some of the ways include:
By investing in a Platinum, Gold, Silver, Player Awards, or Hole Sponsorship
By making a financial contribution in any amount to the Foundation
By supporting the post-tournament live and silent auctions as an item donor, bidder or both
By telling your family, friends, colleagues - basically all of your contacts - about the Colonel’s Challenge and inviting them to participate
By asking your contacts to please share tournament information with any avid golfers (who will already know what a rare an opportunity it is to golf at Sanctuary) or to share with the companies and businesses they frequent, who may be interested in the exposure to new or targeted audiences that accompanies sponsorships and auction donations.
The Colorado State Patrol Family Foundation Board of Trustees and Colonel Matthew Packard, Chief of the Colorado State Patrol (CSP), THANK YOU for your generosity and support of the Colorado State Patrol, as well as for your tournament participation - whether it be as a sponsor, a golfer, an auction donor/bidder or as a volunteer!
