Community Partnerships & Outreach

American Red Cross

Invited has been a dedicated partner of the American Red Cross since 2020 after launching our blood drive program to increase blood donation during the pandemic. 

Participating Invited clubs host quarterly blood drives for the Red Cross each year. In 2023, our clubs held 124 blood drives and collected 3,040 units of blood which potentially saved over 9,120 lives. As a result of our efforts, Invited was ranked in the Top Five for American Red Cross’ corporate blood drive sponsors for the third consecutive year. 

We encourage you to explore ways you can make a real difference for families through simple acts like giving blood or learning lifesaving skills such as CPR. Visit www.redcross.org to learn more. 

Invited Celebrity Classic 

In addition to our core charitable programs, we host the Invited Celebrity Classic presented by Choctaw Casinos & Resorts, an official PGA TOUR Champions tournament with a field of phenomenal PGA TOUR Champions players and 40+ sports and entertainment celebrities. 

The Invited Celebrity Classic is more than just a golf tournament. The tournament includes ancillary events that engage the community to raise funds for local youth charities. The Invited Celebrity Classic is honored to benefit three incredible anchor charities—Momentous Institute, First Tee Greater Dallas and First Tee Fort Worth. Our anchor charities offer incredible programming to support youth and families in North Texas.

Since inception, the Invited Celebrity Classic has generated nearly $500,000 in charitable donations for charity and the tournament’s economic impact is estimated at nearly $3 million benefiting the greater Dallas area.

Next year will be even bigger! Learn more about the 2024 Invited Celebrity Classic and how you can get involved. We hope to see you there!

The Invited Celebrity Classic is proud to support 3 local charities.

Military and Veteran Initiatives

Invited is committed to fostering a corporate culture that values and champions initiatives that enhance the quality of life for Veterans. As a part of Invited’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and charitable initiatives several partnerships help Service members bridge the gap between the end of service and the beginning of civilian life. 

Department of Defense SkillBridge Program 

Our partnership with the Department of Defense (DoD) SkillBridge Program assists with their mission to connect service members with private and public sector organizations for internship opportunities. Service Members build their resumes, explore employment interests, develop job skills, and gain valuable work experience that will help them prepare for their adjustment to the workplace long-term. Invited offers service members internships with clubs across the nation and in professional roles. Since the program's inception in 2021, 95 individuals participated in the SkillBridge program at 65 Invited Clubs.  

Bush Institute’s Warrior Open

Invited is a proud supporter of the Bush Institute’s Warrior Open. The Bush Institute Warrior Open highlights the resilience and continued leadership of veterans through a highly competitive golf tournament that also underscores the importance of sports as a rehabilitation component for our men and women injured on the front lines. Invited awards honorary golf and country club memberships to the Warrior Open participants. Over 120 honorary veteran memberships have been awarded with an estimated lifetime value of the donation at $6 million.

Military & Veteran Outreach Programs

Select Invited clubs team up with organizations such as the Wounded Warrior Project, On Course Foundation, Folds of Honor, PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) to meet the unique needs of military personnel and disabled veterans returning to civilian life. Invited supports these organizations in a variety of ways including in-kind donations, fundraising events and golf course access for programming.
