NASHVILLE, Tenn. (October 24, 2025) – Nashville International Airport® (BNA®) proudly wrapped up its 29th annual BNA® Aviation Golf Classic, held Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025, at Hermitage Golf Course. The tournament welcomed 36 teams and 144 players, bringing together aviation professionals, community leaders and supporters for a day of sport and service—raising funds and awareness for organizations making a meaningful impact.

“We’re proud to host an event that brings our airport community together in support of meaningful causes,” said Doug Kreulen, president and CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA). “The BNA® Aviation Golf Classic reflects the values that define Nashville International Airport—a commitment to service, connection and giving back. We’re grateful to our sponsors, volunteers, and participants for making this year’s event such a success.”

More than just a day on the green, the BNA® Aviation Golf Classic is powered by purpose. Each year, the tournament raises funds for organizations that uplift lives and strengthen communities. The 2025 charity beneficiaries included:

• 100 Black Men of Middle Tennessee, Inc. – Providing mentorship and educational support to empower young Black men.

• Japan-America Society of Tennessee, Inc. – Supporting its annual Cherry Blossom Festival and promoting cultural exchange.

• Parkinson’s Foundation – Advancing research and care for those affected by Parkinson’s disease.

• Susan G. Komen® Breast Cancer Foundation – Leading the fight against breast cancer through advocacy, research and patient support.

Once all sponsor contributions are received, MNAA will invite beneficiary representatives to BNA for a commemorative check presentation—celebrating the impact made possible by this year’s event. It’s a moment that not only honors this year’s achievements but also reflects the enduring purpose behind the tournament.

Now in its 29th year, the BNA® Aviation Golf Classic continues to be a cornerstone of the airport’s commitment to community engagement. With each swing, putt, and drive, the event reinforces BNA’s dedication to serving Middle Tennessee—not only through aviation, but as a civic leader invested in the region’s well-being.

As BNA looks ahead to the 30th anniversary of the Golf Classic in 2026, the airport remains focused on expanding its impact—on the course, in the terminal and throughout the region it proudly serves.
