A Tradition of Giving: The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and PXG Double Down for Veterans for the 13th Year.

Semper Fi & America’s Fund and The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation announce a dollar-for-dollar match benefitting service members, veterans, and military families with a goal of raising $20 million

For the 13th consecutive year, Semper Fi & America’s Fund (The Fund) will partner with The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation (The Foundation) and PXG (Parsons Xtreme Golf) for the Double Down for Veterans Match Campaign to support our service members, veterans, and military families. Through the end of the year, The Foundation, with support from PXG, will match donations made to The Fund dollar-for-dollar up to $10 million.

This year also marks a milestone for The Fund, celebrating its 20th anniversary. Over the past two decades, The Fund has provided $500 million in financial grants, programs, and services, assisting more than 33,000 combat-wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families.

For many of our service members, the effects of their injuries last a lifetime. One service member, Eddie Wright, lost both of his hands when he was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade in Iraq in 2004. While Eddie was in the hospital, The Fund immediately stepped in to provide bedside support and then continued financial and emotional support during his recovery. Since his injuries 20 years ago, The Fund has remained by Eddie’s side, providing support both emotionally and financially.

“It has been a privilege to serve our service members, veterans, and military families over the past 20 years,” said Karen Guenther, President, CEO, and Founder of Semper Fi & America’s Fund. “I am so thankful to Bob and Renee Parsons for their continued support of our Nation’s heroes through the Double Down for Veterans Match Campaign. Their generosity has greatly impacted the lives of so many veterans and military families, especially as the need for ongoing support remains crucial.”

When a service member, veteran, or military family is connected to The Fund, that connection lasts a lifetime. The Fund will always be there to step in when support is needed, especially as many service members return home with lifelong injuries– physical, mental, or emotional. With over 2,000 service members seeking first-time support each year, the continued need for our mission is as vital today as it was in 2004.

“As a U.S. Marine, I know the fight doesn’t end when you return home. Veterans continue to confront challenges—both seen and unseen—as do their loved ones,” said Bob Parsons, U.S. Marine Corps Vietnam War Veteran. “This is where The Fund steps in, providing personalized support during these moments of need, and helping veterans and their families thrive.  This isn’t charity—it’s about doing what’s right for those who’ve given everything.”

The Double Down for Veterans Match Campaign began in 2012 and, with generous giving from our donors combined with over $100 million in matching gifts from The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation, we have raised over $220 million. These donations have helped The Fund to faithfully support our Nation’s heroes for two decades.

“Bob and I are committed to supporting our veterans and military families,” said Renee Parsons, Co-founder of The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and Chief Marketing Officer of PXG. “The Fund’s lifetime assistance ensures that these families receive the ongoing care and support they need. We are proud to continue our partnership for another year, delivering the exceptional care they deserve.”
