The Club at Ravenna Hosts Infinite Hero Foundation’s “Tailgate for the Troops” on July 24

June 21, 2016

DENVER (June 21, 2016) – On Sunday, July 24, The Club at Ravenna, in partnership with Infinite Hero Foundation, is offering a unique opportunity for members of the public to join in a celebration benefiting Infinite Hero Foundation’s nonprofit mission to combat the most difficult front-line issues – both mental and physical – facing military heroes and families. A unique “Tailgate for the Troops” will take place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Ravenna, located at 11118 Caretaker Rd. in Littleton.

Featuring live entertainment by Phat Daddy, tailgating cuisine and drinks sponsored by Tito’s Vodka on the Ravenna golf course, the celebration will welcome special military guests retired Navy LT Morgan Luttrell, and actor, best-selling author, motivational speaker and U.S. Army Veteran J.R. Martinez.

Several Top Fuel and Funny Car world-champion drivers will also join the event, following an exciting weekend of drag racing with the Infinite Hero Funny Car team, sponsored by Terry Chandler, at Bandimere Speedway at the 37th annual Mopar Mile-High NHRA Nationals.

The event is new this year as part of the 3rd Annual Ravenna Invitational benefiting Infinite Hero Foundation.

Since its inception in 2012, Infinite Hero Foundation has awarded nearly $3 million dollars in funding to 10 different veteran service organizations offering innovative and effective programs or treatments for service-related mental and physical injuries All donations to Infinite Hero Foundation go directly to programs for veterans in the form of grants. Infinite Hero does not conduct programs and has minimal overhead, enabling the Foundation to channel more resources to support military heroes.

“Since 2014, the Ravenna community has been honored to support the Infinite Hero Foundation. Our community and Club feel forever in debt to those serving our country and their families,” said Kevin Collins, managing partner at The Club at Ravenna. “Due to the importance of the Foundation’s cause, Ravenna has chosen the organization as one of the its primary charitable partners.”

“Infinite Hero, with backing from our founding corporate partner Oakley, Inc., is dedicated to serving those who have risked their lives to protect our freedoms. Our Foundation aims to reward their sacrifice and bravery with support that articulates our gratitude,” said Laurie Baker, executive director of Infinite Hero Foundation. “With Ravenna, we’ve found a like-minded partner that we count on to help raise critical funds for our annual grant cycle. The Annual Ravenna Invitational has raised more than $300,000 for Infinite Hero Foundation since we began our partnership in 2014.”

Tickets for the Sunday event are $150 for adults and $50 for children, and a portion of the cost is tax deductible. Visit http://infinitehero.org/events/ravenna-invitational/ to purchase tickets.
