The Gertrude C. Ford Foundation to provide hospitality to Outpost attendees during tournament week.
Trustmark is proud to announce its return as the presenting sponsor of The Outpost at the 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship. The Outpost is an open-air hospitality pavilion on the 10th green, offering tournament guests a unique view of professional golf. Trustmark will honor our military and first responders this year by providing them, and three guests per attendee, complimentary admission each tournament day.
The Gertrude C. Ford Foundation has also re-committed to sponsoring The Outpost during the 2024 tournament, providing hospitality services to military personnel and first responders in attendance.
Guest military members include active duty, reserve, and retired service members and veterans. First Responders include Firefighters, Police, Emergency Personnel, and 911 Dispatchers.
For the 11th year, Trustmark will also serve as the presenting sponsor of the Tournament’s Sponsor Party held during tournament week.
Melanie Morgan, Trustmark Executive Vice President and Director of Corporate Communications & Marketing, remarked on Trustmark’s return as the presenting sponsor of The Outpost. “We are truly honored to provide a place of respite and recognition for those who have served our nation or are currently serving in the military or as first responders. These men and women deserve our gratitude, and we’re delighted to have them come out and enjoy the fabulous Sanderson Farms Championship experience.”
“Our military and First Responders are special individuals who serve to help keep our loved ones
safe,” said Gertrude C. Ford Foundation board member John Lewis. “We are honored to participate in saluting the crucial and vital role these men and women play in helping our communities.”
The Outpost will feature comfortable seating with televisions so attendees can watch all the action on the course while enjoying food and beverages.
In appreciation, all military personnel and first responders are granted complimentary admission each day to the 2024 tournament. By submitting their official identification online, they can access four free mobile Daily Grounds Tickets through Sanderson Farms Championship or by setting up an account through Spinzo.
“We are deeply grateful to Trustmark for offering a special gathering space for our nation’s military and first responders at The Outpost,” said Steve Jent, Executive Director of the Sanderson Farms Championship. “Through The Outpost, we aim to foster a sense of camaraderie and solidarity among military personnel, first responders, and all attendees. It is an honor to thank these heroes for serving our nation and communities.”
