Do More for SOAR
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: 2016/07 - July
America demands much of its elite Special Operations Forces, which is comprised of nearly 70,000 Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps personnel, active and reserve. These brave young men and women serve throughout the world and are leading the war against terror. As a result, the casualties incurred by SOF personnel have been significantly high.
The Special Operations Warriors Foundation, a top-rated 501 (c) (3) non-profit, works to ensure that financial assistance for a post-secondary degree is available for the surviving children of Special Operations personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Additionally, the foundation provides immediate financial assistance to severely wounded and hospitalized personnel, providing invaluable resources in their hour of greatest need.
Since 2002, SOAR of Western North Carolina, a group of dedicated local volunteers, has been raising funds and awareness to support the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. In addition to the annual SOAR race, which they sponsor in June each year, this year they are also hosting a fundraising Golf Tournament and Auction.
This Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, August 8, at Highlands Falls Country Club with a shotgun start at 11:00 A.M. The $150 fee per player includes a round of golf, prizes, dinner and the auction. Please note that lunch is not provided. You may bring a guest to dinner for an additional contribution of $35. For further details or to register, please contact Ted Waas at (828) 743-3256 or email him at [email protected]. If you’re not already a member of a foursome, they will be happy to pair you with other golfers. The day promises to be one of great camaraderie.
Various levels of hole sponsorships are also available and interested businesses or individuals are encouraged to contact SOAR and become sponsors. Please join SOAR in their efforts to raise funds for these individuals and their families who have given so much to our country.
