"I am deeply grateful to every golfer, sponsor, volunteer and guest who came out to support our veterans," said Mayor Jim Dodge. "As a veteran myself, I know how much these funds mean to our local posts and the Veterans Advisory Board. This community continues to show up for those who served, and this year's results prove it."

Proceeds directly benefit the Orland Park Veterans Advisory Board and surrounding military organizations, including American Legion Orland Memorial Post 111, Reber-Tesmond Orland-Palos VFW Post 2604 and area active-duty military groups.

The Village of Orland Park thanks Mayor Dodge, Village staff, sponsors, participants, volunteers and veterans who made this year's outing possible.
