Calling all U.S. Service Members who Love Golf!

Since its inception, Desert Classic Charities, the charitable entity that organizes the Humana Challenge, has contributed more than $52 million to the Eisenhower Medical Center and surrounding Coachella Valley nonprofit organizations with mentoring programs for children, social services, and food and safe shelter for the less fortunate.  In the spirit of giving, Humana Military Outpost returns to host U.S. Service Members at Humana Challenge in 2013.

Humana Challenge will provide free grounds admission to active duty, Reserve, and military retirees along with their dependents in La Quinta.  Back by popular demand, the Humana Military Outpost returns to host active duty, Reserve, and military retirees at the 2013 Humana Challenge in partnership with the William J. Clinton Foundation at the Arnold Palmer Private Course at PGA WEST from Thursday, Jan. 17 – Sunday, Jan. 20, 2013.

An expanded and exclusive hospitality pavilion located between the first tee and ninth green offers its guests climate-controlled, indoor seating, outdoor patio seating overlooking the golf action, and complimentary food and beverages.

Veteran groups who would like to attend the Humana Military Outpost should have a representative contact Humana Challenge Tournament Services Manager Amanda Croteau at (760) 346-8184, ext. 269 in advance to make arrangements for their group to attend. Space is limited and is on a first-come, first-served basis. Groups must RSVP by January 7, 2013.
