The Special Operations Warrior Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides needed support for the brave men and women who serve in the Amy, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps personnel, active and reserve, and their families.
They provide college scholarships for the surviving children of fallen Special Operations Forces; family and educational counseling, including in-home tutoring, and advocacy support; and immediate $3,000 financial grants to severely-wounded Special Operations Forces service members.
For 14 years the dedicated volunteers of SOAR of Western North Carolina have sponsored the Special Operations Adventure Race, to support the efforts and programs of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. This year they’re also hosting a fundraising Golf Tournament and Auction in an effort to raise more funds and awareness for this worthwhile cause.
This Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, August 8, at the 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 comradery, coming together to raise funds for such a worthwhile cause.
Various levels of hole sponsorships are also available and interested businesses or individuals are encouraged to contact SOAR at the above number or email address 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.
