Sponsorships are still open
The field is full. The sponsorships are not. Your name and logo go on the sponsor banner, you get a mention at the start of the outing and again at dinner, and a hole sign can carry a first responder’s name in honor or in memory.
Still open: a second player-gift sponsorship and hole signs. The sponsorship page lists every level and what’s already taken.

Why this outing exists
The Bridge was founded after the murders of Westerville police officers Tony Morelli and Eric Joering. This outing honors every fallen first responder — it is not how they died but how they lived that gave the rest of us what we have.
And it pays for the retreats that serve the responders who are still here and struggling. More first responders die by suicide each year than in the line of duty.
