The Rooney’s Golf Foundation started hosting the Armed Forces Appreciation Breakfast in 2018. This patriotic event honors those who served and are serving to protect our country. The program includes lunch, patriotic songs, a preview of the upcoming Army-Navy Football Game, and a keynote speaker.

The 2024 Armed Forces Appreciation Luncheon will be on December 10, 2024 at The Paddock Restaurant at PBKC in West Palm Beach, FL. 

Doors Open at 10:30AM

Luncheon Begins at 11:30AM

This year's keynote speaker is First Sergeant Matt Eversmann (Ret.), whose inspiring story of survival was immortalized in the film, Black Hawk Down. We are excited to hear Matt's story as a Battle of Mogadishu hero, a two times New York Times best-selling author, and documentarian.

The benefiting charities are Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, Warriors Renewal Coalition, Unified Dream, and Wounded Veterans Relief Fund.

Valet parking is provided. The Paddock Restaurant has tiered seating. Each tier is separated by 3 or 4 steps. Uncle Sam and Individual Ticket holders will be seated together at a table of 4. We are capping the event at 300 guests.
