Service member and veteran participants from the 2025 Hoosier for HOPE Golf Tournament.
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Nov. 18, 2025) – The third Annual Hoosiers For HOPE Golf Tournament raised $20,000 benefiting Hope For The Warriors, a national nonprofit dedicated to restoring a stability, strength and community for veterans, service members and military families.
Eighty-eight golfers participated in the annual tournament with 32 service members playing in the daylong event.
Organized by former collegiate and PGA professional Wyatt Larkin, the tournament’s goal is to raise funds and awareness for Hope For The Warriors.
“This year was a success in many ways, but the most impactful part was the amount of service members in attendance this year,” said Larkin. “Every year we grow larger with the goal to include more service members from the Fort Wayne area. It’s a day that we can have fun, fellowship, and include those that serve us every day. All while raising funds to help our service members better their lives, their families, and their communities. The overwhelming support makes me look forward to 2026!”
Larkin first began supporting HOPE in 2011, when he was 14 years old and first heard of the national nonprofit and its mission. That year he raised money for the organization with a donation for every birdie he made during the competition.
“Yet again, Wyatt and his family pulled together a phenomenal event that raised critical funds for HOPE’s programs but more importantly provided a day of camaraderie for veterans and service members,” said Robin Kelleher, co-founder and CEO of Hope For The Warriors.
Since 2022, Hoosiers For HOPE Golf Tournament has raised over $75,000 to support Hope For The Warriors programs.
