At the close of the tournament festivities and awards, Jimmy Mickler, Tournament Coordinator, reported, “The Golf Tournament was, once again, a great success and allowed us to write a check in the amount of $10,500.00 to the Wounded Warrior Project. I want to thank our very generous business community, the golf course management, and all our valued volunteers for their support again this year. They are the ones who make this such a rewarding experience. Their efforts and generosity allowed us to write a nice check, making a difference in a warrior’s life. I can’t thank them enough.”
