About the south florida charity classic

The South Florida Charity Classic (a registered 501©3) was founded in 2014 and has raised over $910,000 in support of various veteran initiatives. We funded the efforts of Miami-Dade County to end veterans' homelessness in 2014 and 2015.  Out of the first Classic, Project 22 was launched, which provides life-saving treatments for veterans suffering from TBI.  We currently support foundations that provide essential services for special operations and other veterans.

Guests of honor have included:

• Col. Jack Jacobs, Recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor
• Robert J O'Neill, Navy SEAL and most noted for operation that saved Captain Richard Phillips, and the mission to kill Osama bin Laden.
