Retired General From Moorestown Helping Non-Profits With New Golf Tournament

Moorestown, NJ -- A retired major general with the U.S. Army who lives in Moorestown is organizing a golf tournament to benefit a pair of local non-profits.

Retired Major General Steven J. Hashem is currently organizing the inaugural Patriot Invitational golf tournament at Laurel Creek Country Club on Aug. 1.

This invitational only outing and dinner will benefit two non-profit organizations: the Special Operations Warrior Foundation and Quantum Leap Farm.

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation offers support and assistance for fallen warrior families to include full tuition, room and board college scholarships and tutoring.

Quantum Leap Farm provide equine-assisted therapies to military service members and their families.

For additional information on the Patriot Invitational golf tournament, contact General Hashem at sjhashem74@gmail.com.

He recently visited the Moorestown Rotary Breakfast Club to discuss this and other topics.

Hashem discussed his education, training and experiences at the United States Military Academy at West Point and in the Army, and how West Point helped to forge and develop his leadership skills over the last 45 years.

Hashem addressed some of the Academy's history, traditions, heritage and how the Academy has changed over the last several decades to better train and develop young men and women to become leaders on the modern battlefield and in corporate America, according to the Rotary Club.

He currently works part-time as a Senior Advisor with the Thayer Leader Development Group (TLDG) at West Point.

TLDG offers both customized and open enrollment programs in leader development for corporations, non-profits, governmental, and educational institutions, and other organizations.

It uses a four-pronged approach that includes applied academics sessions, experiential learning and team building, senior advisors who are retired General Officers, and keynote speakers.

Hashem is also the CEO and founder of Peak International 74, LLC, a recently established company that focuses on leadership development, inspirational speaking, coaching, mentoring, strategic planning, and international and civil-military operations.
