The Data Center Construction Alliance Announces New Charity Golf Tournament Benefiting US Veterans in Northern Virginia

The new golf tournament for data center construction professionals will help support The Folds of Honor Virginia, National Capital Region chapter.

MANNASSAS, VA, UNITED STATES, January 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Data Center Construction Alliance (DCCA), in coordination with its founding members, The ProLift Rigging Company and BluePrint Supply Chain, announced today the launch of a new data center industry golf tournament in Northern Virginia supporting the Folds of Honor veteran’s charity.

The Data Center Construction Alliance Open (DCCA Open) is an event designed to bring together professionals from across the data center construction ecosystem to play a challenging championship-caliber course while giving back to the communities that support the industry’s rapid growth.

The tournament will benefit Folds of Honor Virginia – National Capital Region, an organization dedicated to providing educational scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members.

“The goal of this tournament is to help direct some of the massive success of the data center growth in Northern Virginia back to the communities that support us,” said Bill Tierney, Executive Director of The Data Center Construction Alliance. “Roughly 5-7% of the data center workforce consists of US Veterans or their family members, making Folds of Honor the perfect partner for this event.”

In the 2025-2026 school year, Folds of Honor awarded 11,000 scholarships ($53 million) nationwide. Of those scholarships, 1,031 were awarded in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. However, 796 qualified applicants still went unfunded, representing $3.98 million in unmet need. Proceeds from The DCCA Open will directly benefit Northern Virginia and the surrounding region.

“Since 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded over $340 Million in scholarships for the families of fallen and disabled soldiers and first responders. As a combat veteran, I have had the honor to lead the Virginia, National Capital Region Chapter since May of 2025,” remarked Scott Frix; Major, USA (Ret.) Chapter President; Folds of Honor Virginia, National Capital Region, “As the fourth largest military and first responder community in the nation, we are proud to raise money for the over 1000 local recipients still in need. Proceeds from our efforts go towards funding the scholarships of those recipients.”

The inaugural event will take place on June 8, 2026, at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, a world-class private golf club located in Potomac, Maryland, which has hosted major organizations, including The PGA TOUR and the US Golf Association.

DCCA Open sponsorship opportunities and player registrations are now available. Industry partners, contractors, owners, and vendors are encouraged to participate and support this important cause.

The ProLift Rigging Company and BluePrint Supply Chain, members of the Data Center Construction Alliance, have already committed to major sponsorships.
