Forces on the Fairways Auction 2026

Our mission statement: "To heal the body, mind and spirit of Veterans, through golf. "  We feel that golf can have a therapeutic and healing affect by providing a good challenge, attainable goals, a healthy distraction, time in nature and friendly competition.
We use golf as the medium through which we help heal the physical and psychic wounds that thousands of Veterans returning from their service to our great country have suffered. We also recognize that the families of Veterans are also affected and we seek to introduce them to the game.

Through our annual Forces on the Fairways Golf Tournament, we seek to bring in funds that go toward:

• Our Veterans League at 6 locations throughout St. Louis
• Veterans Golf Clinics in Partnership with PGA Hope​
• XGolf access for VA's physical therapy program
• Financial support for competitive disabled/amputee veteran golfers

To Date, through the proceeds from Forces on the Fairways Golf Tournament, The Palozola Foundation has or is:
*Sold out nine consecutive "Forces on the Fairways" golf tournaments.
*Ran summer, fall, and winter golf leagues free of charge to Veterans at eight area locations, providing Veterans with a "safe place" to tell stories and connect.
*Donated TWO accessible golf carts and an accessible range chair to allow Veterans to play and practice more accessibly.
*Partnering with PGA Hope and facilitating spring and fall golf clinics so hundreds of Veterans can learn and participate.
*Sponsoring select amputee Veterans competing in tournaments nationwide.

All our projects are created to allow us further our mission “To Heal the Body, Mind and Spirit of Veterans, through Golf.”
