| | Night to Honor Our Heroes presented by USAA | |
| |
The Valero Texas Open's long-standing tradition of celebrating "Military City, USA" continues this year as active military, wounded veterans, and corporate supporters gather Friday night of tournament week on April 4 for this annual military appreciation banquet.
Night to Honor Our Heroes presented by USAA will feature World Golf Hall of Fame member Jack Nicklaus.
"I greatly appreciate the Valero Texas Open inviting me to be a part of their event and pay tribute to those who have served and sacrificed for our country," Nicklaus said. "I never had the opportunity to serve our country, but I have always had an enormous respect, admiration and heartfelt appreciation for those who have served."
Guests can admire a rare collection of military artifacts and moving testimonials by engaging speakers, all the while socializing with military and business leaders in the community.
Attendees will leave with a heightened sense of patriotism after listening to moving testimonies by this year's featured speaker.
"USAA is proud to partner with the Valero Texas Open and be the presenting sponsor of the Night to Honor Our Heroes," said USAA VP and Head of Brand Marketing Jen Escobar. "It's a privilege to be part of an evening that not only celebrates our military service members, veterans and their families, recognizing their bravery and dedication, but also brings together military and business leaders alongside a golf legend like Jack Nicklaus to show our unwavering commitment to the military community."
If you are interested in sponsoring the event, please contact us at (210) 215-2532 or Craig@ValeroTexasOpen.com. Event proceeds will support military-focused charities and initiatives throughout the community.

We are looking for volunteering enthusiasts with a passion to help and together create a fantastic Valero Texas Open experience for PGA TOUR players, corporate sponsors and spectators alike.
