The
Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans will hold its eighth annual Golf Outing
and Texas BBQ fundraiser on Sunday, Aug. 25 at Klein Creek Golf Club in
Winfield. Eighteen holes of golf, in a team scramble format, begin at 1 p.m. with
a shotgun start. A complete Texas BBQ
buffet dinner follows golf at 6 p.m.
“The
MSHV golf outing raises money to help support our mission of assisting homeless
and at-risk veterans and their families," said Francois LaSalle, event
chairman, who also serves on the MSHV board.
“Every year our goal is to combine good golf, good fun and good food in
support of this great cause. We are again limiting the event to 144 golfers, so
we encourage our friends and supporters to register now.”
Golfers can register online
at www.helpaveteran.org. The cost, which includes 18 holes of golf and
a barbeque dinner, is $500 per foursome or $125 for an individual golfer. A limited number of dinner-only reservations
are available for $50. Hole sponsorships
and opportunities to donate raffle items or purchase raffle tickets are also
available. For additional information,
