Giving Back to Our Communities

Founded in 2022, the Patriot Growth Charitable Fund (PGCF) strives to support and raise awareness of charitable causes dedicated to making positive impacts in the communities in which Patriot’s employees and clients live and work.

Together with the Boston Foundation, a multi-billion-dollar foundation established in 1915, we have constituted the PGCF to achieve Patriot’s charitable mission.

Holes for Heroes Annual Golf Event

In 2024, Patriot proudly hosted its inaugural annual charity golf event, Holes for Heroes, a heartfelt initiative designed to give back to those who’ve given so much. We are pleased to announce that the proceeds from this event were donated to 22ZERO, an organization dedicated to providing veterans, active military personnel, and first responders with essential resiliency skills. These tools help our heroes effectively manage and overcome trauma, addressing the symptoms associated with PTSD and supporting their journey to recovery. Patriot is honored to support our veterans and their families.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all the volunteers, sponsors, and participants who played a pivotal role in making Holes for Heroes a tremendous success. For information on how to participate in the 2025 event, please contact Merissa Larson.
