Folds of Honor South Texas has launched the “100 Paintings of Jack Nicklaus” art auction, featuring original works by celebrity artist Joe Everson. Each painting, signed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus, highlights moments from his iconic career. The timed online auction runs from November 13 through November 25, 2025, with proceeds benefiting Folds of Honor.

Organizers hope to raise more than $500,000 to fund 100 academic scholarships for spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled military members and first responders.

Diane Nemecek, Senior Director of Impact, said the effort reflects both gratitude and purpose: “We are so grateful to Joe Everson for making this possible and we are thrilled to honor the great Jack Nicklaus through these original works of art.”

Colonel John Nemecek, President of Folds of Honor South Texas, emphasized the uniqueness of the project: “Nothing like this has ever been done in the golf world. Having the chance to win one of these moments in sports history, painted by Joe Everson and autographed by Jack Nicklaus, is a collector’s dream.”

Folds of Honor South Texas awarded 1,319 scholarships in 2023–2024 to Texas recipients. The organization continues to expand its mission of supporting military and first responder families through education.

Joe Everson, known as the “singing painter,” has gained more than 300 million social media views for his patriotic performances. Represented by Park West Gallery, Everson has painted for professional sports teams, Fortune 500 companies, and celebrities, raising millions for veteran and military nonprofit organizations, including Folds of Honor.
