About The Semper Fi Open

The Semper Fi Open was founded in 2012, by father/daughter duo, Chris and Michelle Keogh. It was their mission to give back to our service members and veterans who have sacrificed for our safety and freedom. The Semper Fi Open is a golf tournament held to support the Semper Fi Fund and cultivate a relationship between our nation’s heroes and the civilians they have given life and limb to protect.  
It was a priority to Chris that all monies raised in this event would go directly to the Semper Fi Fund. To assure this became a reality Chris and Patricia Keogh decided that their company, Enviremedial Services, Inc. would cover the entire cost of the tournament. The Semper Fi Open takes great pride in telling our donors that 100% of their donations and sponsorships go directly to the Semper Fi Fund.
Michelle passed away just weeks before the first Semper Fi Open while awaiting her second heart transplant. This tournament is held in Michelle’s memory and in honor of all the service members and veterans who have sacrificed for our great nation.

Why The Semper Fi Fund?

The Semper Fi Fund provides urgently needed resources and lifetime support for combat wounded, critically ill and catastrophically injured members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. Case managers from the Semper Fi Fund work one-on-one with service members and veterans in order to understand and support their individual needs right now and throughout their lifetime. The Semper Fi Fund keeps their overhead costs low, averaging 6%, so their impact on the lives of service members and veterans is greater. The Semper Fi Fund has been awarded the highest ratings from watchdog groups: an A+ from CharityWatch – one of only two veteran nonprofits to receive this rating last year – and seven consecutive “4-Star” ratings from Charity Navigator, an achievement attained by only 3% of rated charities. ​
