Golf Fundaiser for Project New Hope

Grand View Lodge in Nisswa will be hosting the first Tee it up for the Troops event August 26th. The event is a fundraiser for Project New Hope a non profit organization that provides veterans and their families the education, training, and skills necessary to manage their lives after wartime service.

Project New Hope Founder and Tournament Chair Bruce Billington says, “I am very excited about this event because we are playing at The Pines at Grand View Lodge which is a great course, we have a great partner in TEE IT UP FOR THE TROOPS, and we will all be able to say THANK YOU to our Veterans who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free.”

After serving in combat, the statistics for veterans and their families shows spikes in divorce, substance abuse, job loss, home loss, physical abuse, and suicide. At Project New Hope, veterans and their families are given a weekend retreat, away from the demands and distractions of their daily lives, and spend time together with counselors from the Department of Veteran Affairs. There is no charge, instead, funding is sought from corporate and fundraising events.

The entry fee for the golf event is $100 per player and includes 18-holes of golf with cart, tee prize, and banquet dinner at the Gull Lake Center following golf. The tournament banquet will also serve as location for the drawing for a 2011 Ford Mustang Convertible which concludes Project New Hope’s year long raffle.
