The Dominion Energy Charity Classic will once again honor military members and veterans with complimentary admission and on-site hospitality, thanks to Strata Clean Energy

RICHMOND, Virginia – Continuing a proud tradition since the tournament’s inception in 2016, the Dominion Energy Charity Classic will welcome active-duty and veteran military personnel with complimentary admission and access to a dedicated hospitality venue, courtesy of Strata Clean Energy. The Durham, N.C. based company, dedicated to military hiring and training, returns for the fourth consecutive year as the tournament’s Official Military Program Sponsor.

“We’re proud to help build pathways for veterans to thrive in the clean energy sector, where their leadership, discipline, and technical skills are a natural fit,” said Markus Wilhelm, CEO of Strata Clean Energy. “This is our fourth year sponsoring the Dominion Energy Charity Classic, and we’re honored to stand behind its military initiatives once again. Supporting this event allows us to give back to the Virginia communities we serve and to recognize the dedication and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans,” Wilhelm added.

The tournament, held October 16-19 at The Country Club of Virginia’s James River Course, has made a commitment to the military each year since its 2016 debut. For 2025, this includes:

• On Monday of tournament week, 20 female military personnel will be recognized at the Heroes Luncheon during the tournament’s Executive Women’s Day program. Courtesy of Boots to Suits, these women will be outfitted with complimentary, quality work apparel as they transition to the civilian workforce. They will also be invited to the program’s networking session.

• On Friday of tournament week, a Military Appreciation Ceremony will take place in the Fan Zone after the final putt drops. The ceremony will include a national anthem performer, color guard, and will recognize distinguished military veterans.

• All Active Duty, Reserve, Retiree, Veterans and National Guard members receive up to two complimentary grounds admission tickets to each day of tournament play, Friday through Sunday, courtesy of Strata Clean Energy.

• All ticketed military guests will have access to the Patriots’ Outpost presented by Strata Clean Energy, a military-exclusive hospitality venue located near the ninth green that will be open Friday through Sunday and offer complimentary food and beverage while supplies last.

“Beginning with our inaugural event in 2016, the Dominion Energy Charity Classic has prioritized supporting active duty, reserve, retiree and other military service members in the Richmond region and beyond,” said tournament Executive Director Steve Schoenfeld. “With the generous support of Strata Clean Energy, this tradition has been a part of the tournament for ten years now, and we are both pleased and humbled to be able to extend this hospitality as a small thank you to all military members.”
