The Tunnel to Towers Foundation hosted its prestigious Celebrity Golf Classic at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, bringing together an extraordinary gathering of celebrities, veterans, first responders, dignitaries, and business leaders. The event served as a powerful celebration of patriotism, service, and philanthropy—anchored by the Title Sponsorship of PuroClean, under the leadership of Frank Torre, Vice Chairman of PuroClean.
Under Torre’s direction, PuroClean proudly served as Title Sponsor, reflecting the company’s unwavering commitment to supporting America’s heroes. Central to this mission is PuroVet, a PuroClean initiative that empowers U.S. military veterans through veteran franchise programs and ownership opportunities, SBA loan guidance, and the resources to build successful businesses in the $210 billion property damage restoration industry.
“It’s an honor to support an organization that does so much for our nation’s heroes,” said Torre. “PuroClean and our PuroVet program are deeply aligned with Tunnel to Towers’ mission to never forget the sacrifices made by military families and first responders. My father’s service as a Carlson’s Raider in World War II inspires everything we do to give back.”
Torre’s commitment to veterans is deeply personal. His father served with honor as a U.S. Marine in the elite Carlson’s Raiders during World War II, a marine corps legacy that continues to inspire the PuroVet program and PuroClean’s dedication to veteran empowerment.
In addition to PuroClean’s leading role, the veteran charity event received support from several other generous sponsors, all united in a shared commitment to honor and uplift veterans and first responders. A diverse mix of business executives, nonprofit leaders, and civic dignitaries were also in attendance, underscoring the widespread backing of Tunnel to Towers’ mission.
“Frank Torre’s unwavering dedication to our veterans and first responders is both humbling and inspiring,” said Frank Siller, Chairman & CEO of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. “His leadership and generosity elevate events like the Tunnel to Towers Celebrity Golf Classic and ensure that the mission to honor our nation’s heroes never loses momentum. We’re proud to stand alongside him.”
The celebrity-filled event featured appearances by Dennis Quaid, Guy Fieri, Jim Whalberg, and others who joined supporters to raise critical funds and awareness. The day featured heartfelt tributes, including a stirring performance by the Southwest Florida Guns and Hoses Pipes and Drums, and a breathtaking display as skydivers descended with enormous American flags, saluting those who serve.
Adding to the event’s impact, Frank Torre made a generous personal contribution during the live auction, a gesture that exemplifies his personal commitment to the spirit of Servant Leadership—one of PuroClean’s core values—reinforcing his heartfelt dedication to the Foundation’s mission and those it serves.
The Tunnel to Towers Celebrity Golf Classic was more than just a tournament—it was a powerful reminder of the strength that comes from unity, gratitude, and purpose, and the critical importance of supporting those who protect our nation’s freedom.
