Walt Disney World Golf, managed by Arnold Palmer Golf Management, participated in Patriot Golf Day 2019 during Labor Day Weekend (August 31 - September 2). The initiative supported Folds of Honor, a 501(c)(3) organization established in 2007 by Major Dan Rooney, an F-16 Fighter Pilot. Folds of Honor's stated purpose: "empower military families by providing educational scholarships to the children and spouses of military service men and women killed or disabled while serving our great nation." The organization noted that "over 87% do not qualify for federal scholarship assistance" among affected dependents from Iraq and Afghanistan deployments. The charity provides "$5000 increments" annually and assists with private education funding. By 2019, Folds of Honor had distributed approximately 20,000 scholarships since its founding. During the Labor Day Weekend, Arnold Palmer Golf Management contributed $2.00 per golf round to support the organization.
