To honor Military, Families
A charitable foundation designed to provide secondary educational scholarships to children and spouses of military men and women killed or disabled while on active service, will host a unique golf outing Friday November 11, 2011 at The Emerald Golf Course. That the date happens to be Veteran’s Day will add to the significance of the event along with assisting The Folds of Honor Foundation to benefit from a successful fund raising event.
According to Jay Eccleton, director of golf course operations for The Emerald, the team assignments themselves is a tribute to all military services. Each team will be comprised of three players of choice who will be joined by one active or active reserve military personnel (free, of course!) to complete a four-person team.
“We are looking forward to November 11,” commented Eccleton, “and are pleased the foundation selected the Emerald for this special event. It is truly an exceptional way to not only help the foundation but to also pay tribute to the military men and women and their families.”
Aside from golf, there will be prizes for score and contest holes, along with lunch and dinner for everyone participating. All proceeds of the day will be donated to The Folds of Honor Foundation.
