Military Outreach and Sponsorship Opportunities

The Reno-Tahoe Open salutes the troops and creates a variety of special military-themed events surrounding the Reno-Tahoe Open to benefit the men and women in our armed forces.

The Military Initiative of the 2012 Reno-Tahoe Open included:

Free entry to the tournament grounds for members of the military, including active duty, veteran, Guard and Reserve forces, with proper identification
A Patriots' Outpost, providing a hosted hospitality suite environment on the 9th Green for members of the military, with proper identification. The Patriots' Outpost was possible in 2012 due to the support of Marigold Corp, GE - Energy, The Lodge at Galena, Green Beans Coffee, Morrey Distributing and Pepsi.
An Appreciation Station, allowing the spectators of the 2012 Reno-Tahoe Open to pay tribute to the men and women currently serving abroad in our armed forces, by writing a note to them. Generously hosted by the Veterns of Foreign Wars.
An on-site Static Display of military vehicles used every day in our armed forces.
