  All of the net proceeds from the tournament will be used to fund the educational needs of orphaned children and dependent siblings of soldiers who were permanently incapacitated or killed due to enemy action or during disaster relief operations.

  The sixth HERO Golf Cup was made possible through the support of many generous corporations, organizations, and individuals who share in our cause to care for the orphans our military heroes have left behind.

The majority of the military orphans they support are in Mindanao (45%), while the rest are in Luzon (37%), Visayas (11%), and NCR (7%).
