PenFed Foundation Raises Over $1.2 Million at Annual Golf Classic for Veterans
The PenFed Foundation for Military Heroes raised over $1.2 million during its 23rd annual Military Heroes Golf Classic on August 31, 2026. The event supports veterans and military families in their transition to civilian life. Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Bradford J. Shwedo, president of the foundation, expressed gratitude for the support from partners and donors who enable these efforts. A dinner held before the golf classic honored Ed Cody for his 25 years of service on the Foundation's board, including leadership in key initiatives like Defender’s Lodge and the Afghan Rescue and Resettlement Program. The PenFed Foundation has provided more than $55 million in financial support to veterans since its founding in 2001. It is affiliated with PenFed Credit Union, which covers administrative costs so that donations can be directed toward programs.
