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 Semper Fi  & America's Fund. To assure this became a reality Chris and Patricia Keogh and 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 Semper Fi & America's 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 Semper Fi & America's Fund?

Semper Fi & America’s Fund provides urgently needed resources and lifetime support for combat wounded, critically ill, and catastrophically injured service members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. Case managers work one-on-one with service members and Veterans to understand and support their individual needs right now and throughout their lifetimes. The
Fund keeps its overhead exceptionally low in order to have the greatest impact on the lives of Veterans and their families, and has been awarded the highest ratings from watchdog groups: A+ from CharityWatch (one of only two Veteran nonprofits to receive their highest rating), a Charity Navigator 4-star rating for ten consecutive years (an achievement attained by only 2%
of rated charities), and the Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar. Learn more at TheFund.org.
