Hospitality Business Network Foundation
The HBN Foundation Turkey Trot Veterans Invitational
In November 1992, friends and business associates of the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau (ACVB) formed the Turkey Trot Invitational Golf Tournament; one of Atlanta’s oldest and largest non-profit charity golf tournaments. The “Fall Classic” soon became an Atlanta hospitality community tradition with more than 1,600 area businesses and individuals participating as of 2025. It raised more than $1.7 million for local Atlanta charities in its first 20-year history and continues to grow each year.
An exchange of business cards and introductions soon became a tradition of the Turkey Trot and led to the formation of the “Hospitality Business Network.” In 2012, the Hospitality Business Network Foundation, Inc. was formed as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt (Georgia Tax ID #46-2010898), charitable organization comprised of executives and individuals from the public and private sectors of Atlanta’s hospitality, professional services and other business industries. The tournament is now officially called the Turkey Trot Veterans Invitational.
This year, the event will be held on Monday, November 3, 2025, with the Patriots Party on Sunday evening, November 2. More details to follow soon.
