wants to demonstrate our deep gratitude for the sacrifice our veterans and their families have made for us.

Over the years, we have made contributions to the following organizations:

Veteran Scholarship Fund

The Iron Hill Charity Golf Tournament has created a Veteran Scholarship fund that is distributed to Northampton Community College, Bucks County Community College, Union Community College, and Sussex Community College. The scholarships support veterans in pursuing their post-military career goals.

“In speaking to veterans, we found that many have put their personal and professional goals on hold when returning from service,” explained Greg Rogerson, Principal of J.G. Petrucci Co., Inc. “With the rising cost of tuition and college-related expenses, these scholarships will allow veterans to pursue their post-military career goals and eliminate some of the stress caused by student loan debts.”

K9s for Warriors

The K9 for Warriors program is dedicated to providing service canines to our warriors suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, and/or Trauma as a result of military service post-9/11. To date, the Iron Hill Charity Golf Tournament has sponsored three (3) canines that are dedicated to empowering veterans to return to civilian life with dignity and independence. In 2018, Adam LeGrand, a medic in the United States Air Force for 10 years, joined the golfers with his service dog, Molly. At the post-golf luncheon, Molly helped Adam gain the courage to share his story about how he is now able to do so many things that he never thought were possible.

“When I got out of the Air Force, I didn’t know how to process many of my feelings and considered suicide,” explained Adam LeGrand, K9 for Warrior recipient. “Medication was not working for me and I knew that I needed another solution. Molly works better than any medication I have ever taken and makes my life possible. Before having Molly I didn’t go to any of my kid’s gymnastics meets, soccer games, or t-ball games and avoided crowds. Because of Molly I am here speaking to you today and have not missed one of my kid’s events since she joined my family.”

Foreign Policy Research and Development Institute’s, Lt. Gen. Bernard E. Trainor USMC Fellow

Foreign Policy Research and Development Institute’s, Lt. Gen. Bernard E. Trainor USMC Fellow, Ann Toews received her fellowship through the generous donations that were made possible from the Iron Hill Charity Golf Tournament. She is a veteran of the war in Afghanistan where she served with the 173rd Airborne Brigade. During her remarks at the 2018 Iron Hill Charity Golf Tournament, Toews shared the importance of her field research that was made possible by the generous donations. In addition, she explained how her work is helping her brothers and sisters still in uniform stay well informed and prepared.

“I am tremendously grateful to have been the fortunate veteran that benefited from this generous fellowship over the past year,” explained Ann Toews. “It made many international trips, workshops, and mentorships, possible and they are absolutely invaluable to my professional development in a new field. This fellowship has also given me the motivation to continue my post-military career and I cannot wait to continue writing.”

The Iron Hill Charity Golf Open has become a huge success thanks to the amazing event sponsors and in-house staff that come together and demonstrate that “Respond to the needs of the Community” is not just a line in the company’s leadership pledge, but how J.G. Petrucci and Iron Hill’s commitment to their communities extend well beyond their development, design/build, and construction projects.
