Hi Community Of Fellow Marketers, Creators, Storytellers, Business Leaders and Fairer Society Makers! At Rocket Companies we are in the midst of our sixth Rocket Mortgage Classic PGA TOUR weekend here in Detroit. I have to admit, I didn’t have a passion for golf until I began to be schooled by Casey Hurbis - a self declared #golfgeek (remember I respect anyone who declares their geek - y’all know mine’s #whitney ;) Previously, I couldn’t name more than a handful of top golfers but I have learned so much over the last few months as this came together. I learned that #DanGilbert pushed to bring this tournament to the heart of Detroit back in 2019 and now it’s only the second PGA TOUR event located inside the urban perimeter of a large city. I also learned that every PGA TOUR event is committed to a cause. Since 2019 the Rocket Mortgage Classic has invested more than $8.4 million into Detroit’s local charitable organizations, including $4.3 million in contributions to help bridge the digital divide. In that time, more than 162,000 families have been connected to the internet and over 77,000 devices have been distributed to those who need them. I believe digital access should be made accessible to EVERY AMERICAN HOUSEHOLD. I’m super proud to be part of this effort. Thanks to all the hard-working members of the #Rocketmarketingteam that made sure the brand is showing up well this weekend. Beautiful proof that Rocket Mortgage is truly a #formorethanprofitcompany. As for the beautiful game of golf, even my kids are having a blast. They both got to take their first spin on the wheel of a pimped out golf cart under the careful supervision of Casey! #golf #sportsmarketing #detroit #rmc

Sir it’s always good to see a company like ( Rocket Mortgage) giving back to so many communities. Great job
This follows right with one of your last posts about #community. I learned when doing some work around golf events how generous many golfers are as well as the PGA tour for community. All were incredible to work with. I have a ton of respect for the skill. Can we digress for a moment and talk about how beautiful the kids are and how big they are getting!! We need Whitney chat at some point. You need to meet a friend of mine. Keep shining!
Love this, Jonathan! The amazing Casey Hurbis is a “geek” of most if not all sports on top of being an incredible marketer and innovator. Super excited to witness the magic you’ll make together.
A big fan of how golf can support brands and charity and create consumer passion. Been a follower and supporter for years. Continued success.
I love this initiative and also completely agree with the love of golf. It’s one of my favorite sports and also a great way to build community as a life long sport. ⛳️
Beautiful family! Bummer that I missed you in Cannes.
Love it. Dying to know what you and Ricky Fowler are talking about…
Fantastic branding! And that golf cart! But mostly those cutie littles ❤️❤️ - have fun!
