The Match
Atlanta Chapter Tuskegee Airmen The Match Golfing Event
The Match is the Atlanta Chapter Tuskegee Airmen’s annual golf tournament, a unique event honoring the legacies of two trailblazing groups in American history: the Tuskegee Airmen and the Montford Point Marines.
The Montford Point Marines were the first African Americans to serve in the United States Marine Corps, breaking racial barriers during World War II. Similarly, the Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American military pilots, demonstrating courage and excellence in aviation while combating racial prejudice. These two trailblazing groups share a legacy of resilience, bravery, and a commitment to service.
Each year in Atlanta, Georgia, The Match brings these two historic groups together in a unique and spirited golf tournament. This annual event isn’t just a celebration of camaraderie and competition—it’s a vital opportunity to honor the remarkable contributions of the Montford Point Marines and the Tuskegee Airmen.
This event plays a crucial role in raising awareness of their profound impact on history and society. Through The Match, their legacies are preserved and shared with new generations, ensuring their stories of perseverance and triumph are never forgotten. Additionally, as a charity fundraiser, the event helps support initiatives that maintain their legacies, including scholarships, educational programs, and community outreach.
