Range Fore Hope Foundation

Range Fore Hope Foundation is a non-profit organization in Columbia, SC. It helps veterans heal through golf and community initiatives, operating as a sanctuary where golf serves as therapy and isolation transforms into community. The foundation serves active duty service members, veterans, military families, and adaptive golfers, with a focus on supporting low to moderate income veterans and their families. Founder Alvin King, a retired US Army 1SG and disabled combat veteran, was recognized as the First Veteran of the Year by the SC House of Representatives in 2023. Since 2018, the organization has helped over 400 combat-disabled veterans and over 2000 military community members rediscover purpose and connection.

The foundation provides a holistic approach to help families cope with the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder while providing essential access to financial and health resources. Its programs encourage camaraderie and friendship, helping to combat feelings of isolation among participants. Golf allows families to engage together, creating positive interactions and support systems. The gentle movements involved in swinging a club help enhance muscle strength and joint flexibility, making it an ideal form of exercise for veterans recovering from injuries. The serene environment of the golf course offers a peaceful escape from daily stressors, promoting mindfulness and reducing anxiety and depression.

Range Fore Hope Foundation is a proud member of the Club Champion PGA Partnership Program. This collaboration allows participants of its RFHF Golf Programs to use a specific code to sign up for a free professional fitting for golf clubs at Club Champion facilities. The foundation prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion in all its initiatives, focusing on the physical, mental, and social well-being of its participants. It believes that true healing begins within the family unit and equips veterans and their families with the tools they need to thrive in their communities.
