October 30, 2026
CBI Bonding sponsors the SDB Golf Classic
At CBI Bonding, building strong relationships extends far beyond surety solutions. It means actively investing in the communities and heroes around us. On October 16, our team was honored to participate in and sponsor, once again, the annual SDB Golf Classic, hosted at the Legacy Golf Club.
It was an incredible day on the course spent alongside industry partners, friends, and community leaders. Most importantly, thanks to the collective support of organizers, players, and fellow sponsors, the tournament successfully raised $125,000 for Disabled American Veterans.
Impacting the Lives of Our Veterans
The $125,000 raised at this year's tournament goes directly toward advancing the mission of Disabled American Veterans, a non-profit dedicated to empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. These contributions help fund critical DAV programs, including:
- Medical Transportation: Free transportation services helping ill and injured veterans travel to and from VA medical appointments.
- Claims & Benefits Assistance: Free, professional advocacy to help veterans and their families secure the medical care, disability compensation, and financial benefits they earned.
- Career Resources: Targeted job fairs and transition support connecting service members with civilian employment opportunities.
- Emergency Relief: Direct financial assistance for veterans facing unexpected disasters or personal hardship.
Stronger Together in the Community
Collaborating with partners like SDB at the Legacy Golf Club demonstrates what our industry can achieve when uniting behind a shared purpose. Supporting our nation's veterans is a priority we hold close, and we are grateful to have played a role in this year's impactful event, once again.
CBI Bonding extends a heartfelt thank you to SDB, the event organizers, Legacy Golf Club, and everyone who came out to make the day a resounding success.

Special thanks to the Travelers team who joined us on the green; Chris Schick, Ron Page and Mikayla Green Why ICAN Matters The International Cancer Advocacy Network does incredible work providing "boots-on-the-ground" assistance for cancer patients, helping them navigate complex treatment options and access the latest personalized medicine.
