Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors hosts second PGA-Pro AM Charity Golf Tournament

Benefitting the Headstrong Project, Navy SEAL Foundation, Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, and Give an Hour

The Headstrong Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing cost-free, stigma-free, and bureaucracy-free care for veterans seeking mental healthcare, was one of the beneficiaries of the inaugural Warrior Cup Invitational which took place on May 16, 2012 at the prestigious Vaquero Country Club in Dallas, TX.

Hosted by Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, a prominent alternative asset management firm, the event included 21 PGA-Tour professionals such as Gary McCord and Rich Beem, A-list Hollywood celebrities such as Greg Kinnear, senior military officials including General Peter Chiarelli, elite Navy SEALS, US Marines, and other Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. The event raised over $500,000 and also brought awareness about the growing need for programs benefitting veterans suffering from the hidden wounds of war.

“Everyday 18 veterans commit suicide due to the emotional impacts of war,” said Zach Iscol, CEO of The Headstrong Project and a combat decorated former Marine officer and Iraq veteran of the Battle of Fallujah.  “This is partly due to the lack of necessary help readily available to these men and women. At The Headstrong Project, we have recently launched the New York City Pilot Treatment Program which will help diagnose and provide individually tailored treatment plans to recent Iraq and Afghanistan combat veterans.”

The Fall 2012 Warrior Cup, hosted for the second time by Kayne Anderson, is set for November 13-14, 2012 at Troon North Monument Golf Course and Four Seasons Resort in Scottsdale, AZ. This highly anticipated event will include a banquet dinner featuring live auction items, golf on the breathtaking Troon North Monument Golf Course with 20 PGA-Tour professionals, and a roster of A-list celebrity and highly decorated military personnel.

Schedule of events:
November 13th - 5:30-7pm Cocktails/Registration/Silent Auction; 7pm Banquet Dinner/Live Auction; November 14th – 9am Shotgun Start/1:30pm BBQ Buffet Luncheon.
