10th Annual Midwest Shelter Golf Fundraiser Set For Sunday, August 23 at Klein Creek Golf Club in Winfield
Golf outing to support local veterans in need and their families.
The Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans will hold its 10th Annual Golf Outing and Texas BBQ Fundraiser on Sunday, Aug. 23 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.
“Since the inaugural event in 2006, the MSHV Golf Outing has raised more than $204,000 in support of our mission to help homeless and at-risk veterans regain self-sufficiency,” said A.J. Leane, event chairman, who also serves on the MSHV board. “The golf is again limited to the first 144 paid golfers, so we encourage everyone who wants to join us in August to sign up now.
“We also ask interested businesses and individuals to help sponsor our event, so that every dollar we raise can go directly to helping veterans and their families,” added Leane. “There is no better way to support these heroes who have served our nation.”
