Flag & Anthem to support PGA HOPE’s 2025 flagship events, elevating experience for veterans

TheSecretary’s Cup was held at Carmel Country Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, on May 12 in conjunction with the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club. The annual event hosts 12 teams of 48 Veterans and PGA HOPE Graduates from across the country in a spirited 9-hole golf match. 

PGA HOPE National Golf and Wellness Week will be held Oct. 7-14 at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, and will host 20 Veterans in an immersive five-day event including golf instruction and wellness training.

“As Flag & Anthem continues to grow in the golf space, we are thrilled to support PGA HOPE as giving back to the community is extremely important to us,” says Brad Gartman, Flag & Anthem co-founder. “As a lifestyle brand, we strive to connect with golfers of all skill levels and equip them with high-quality gear that can be worn on and off the course. To be able to support PGA HOPE and aid in their mission for helping Veterans thrive through the game is a true honor. 

“We hope Flag & Anthem can make a small difference, and we look forward to building upon these efforts as we strengthen our relations.”

“PGA HOPE is grateful for Flag & Anthem’s support of Veterans through the game of golf,” says Chris Nowak, Marine Corps Veteran and PGA’s HOPE Military and Veteran Liaison. “PGA HOPE is making a difference in the lives of the Veteran community, and Flag & Anthem’s support ensures that we can serve more of our Veterans nationwide. We’re honored to work alongside an iconic American brand.”

The introductory PGA HOPE Collection of logoed golf polos, hoodies,1/4 zip pullovers, and graphic t-shirts are available for purchase on the Flag & Anthem website and representatives will be on-site at PGA HOPE events throughout the year in support of the organization’s important mission.

All programs are funded by the PGA of America REACH Foundation, allowing Veterans to participate for free.
