Here, progress goes beyond the game. The Grant Thornton Invitational uplifts and contributes to a breadth of organizations supporting inclusivity, sports equity, veterans and more. Because when we come together, we can build a bridge to not only what the game of golf can be – but what our world can be.

Grant Thornton’s Purple Paladin Program supports early-stage nonprofit social entrepreneurs, providing funding, volunteerism, and business guidance to help their organizations grow. As part of the Grant Thornton Invitational, we are proud to recognize and support four Purple Paladins making a powerful impact by making sports more accessible, bringing joy to children on medical journeys, and reuniting veterans for life-changing reunions.

By supporting CureSearch, you’re funding research that’s on the path to quickly becoming a drug accessible to the children who so desperately need new treatment options, and you’re providing innovative platforms that allow stakeholders to work smarter, faster, and more collaboratively.

Together, we’re changing the drug development landscape from within and accelerating the development of safe, effective treatments for the 42 children diagnosed with cancer each day.
