The 2016 LPS for Vets Golf Tournament Fundraiser
"LPS for Vets" is an annual golf fundraising event that was created by LPS to raise funds and awareness for Veterans with PTSD.
On Saturday June 11, 2016 Logistics Planning Services will be conducting its 14th Annual Charity Golf Classic at White Eagle Golf Club in Hudson, WI to benefit our military veterans and specifically to benefit the Minneapolis VA Brain Sciences Center in its Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) research. Funds raised by this event are pledged to the breakthrough research being conducted by Dr. Georgopoulos (VA Clinic) and Dr. Engdahl (University of MN) in their work to help soldiers and all victims of PTSD.
This fundraising event was started a decade ago by Logistics Planning Services and The Hall Family Foundation to raise funds and awareness for local organizations dedicated to improving the lives of our Veterans. The past two years alone, fundraising efforts have raised $50,000.
The fundraiser boasts fun activities for its participants such as a dunk tank featuring 'Negative Dave' from the Paul Allen radio show on KFAN, a silent auction, and an afternoon barbecue.

The event will also feature an appearance and skydive landing on the driving range from Kevin Burkart, a man who skydives to raise money for Parkinson's Disease. On Wednesday, June 15, 2016, Burkart will go on a mission to complete 300 skydives in one day for Parkinson's Disease using one arm.
While this event is private, public donations are encouraged and appreciated. You can donate at http://lpsforvets.com/donations/
