Thanks to the event's generous contributors, sponsors, and 64 participants (16 foursomes), USA Truck, a DB Schenker company, and America's Trucker were able to donate $35,000 to the benefitting charity of the event, Folds of Honor.

About Folds of Honor

HONORS THEIR SACRIFICE. EDUCATE THEIR LEGACY. Folds of Honor began with Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney's flight home from his second tour of duty in Iraq. An F-16 fighter pilot in the Oklahoma Air National Guard, he became painfully aware of the realities families face when a loved one in uniform is fallen or disabled. As his flight landed, the pilot announced they carried the remains of Corporal Brock Bucklin on board. Lt. Colonel Rooney watched as Corporal Bucklin's twin brother walked somberly alongside the flag-covered casket to meet his family on the tarmac. Among them was the deceased Corporal's young son, Jacob. Since that night, Lt. Col Rooney has committed his life - through the Folds of Honor - to provide scholarships to spouses and children of America's fallen and disabled service members. Jacob Bucklin became the first Folds of Honor scholarship recipient in 2007.
