Participants Still Needed for Golf Outing to Benefit Military Connections
Pittsburgh, PA (April 2010) – On May 18th, a golf outing is being held at the Birdsfoot Golf Course in Freeport, PA to benefit Military Connections, a local troop support organization. The non-profit has been shipping care packages to Soldiers and Marines deployed overseas since 2003. Proceeds collected through participation and sponsorships at the May 18th event will benefit Military Connections’ continued efforts.
Lee Wagner, a financial advisor with Waddell & Reed in Monroeville, stepped in to help with the fundraiser and become a presenting sponsor because of his military background. As a former Marine, Wagner knows how precious care packages are, especially for the service men and women who would not normally get a gift from home.
“Military Connections has a great thing going on, and I hope more people begin to recognize their efforts and support their cause. The golf outing is one way we’re reaching out to the community, so I’m hoping to see our teams become full in the next few weeks,” Wagner said.
Registration for the golf outing starts at 8:00am at the Birdsfoot Golf Course in Freedom, PA on May 18th with dinner and raffles to follow. Registration forms can be found online at http://www.militaryconnections.org/images/GolfApplicationMC.pdf. For more information, please call 412-496-8941 or email militaryconnections@hotmail.com.
