Oceanside Chamber Chooses Golf With a Hero Charity

Feb. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Golf With A Hero Tournament to Benefit Vets

[Oceanside, CA] -  The Oceanside Chamber of Commerce’s annual golf tournament pairs local Marines and Sailors, many of whom have just returned from war in Afghanistan, with civilian players on Tuesday, June 5, 2012.  The event will be held at the Marine Memorial Golf Course, Camp Pendleton and is open to the public, with a limit of 144 pre-registered golfers.  At a cost of $275 for one and $475 for a twosome, this fee also pays for golf, lunch and dinner for Military Heroes. During the event there will be a silent auction, raffle prizes, and highlighted hole-in-one prizes.  

A portion of the proceeds from the event will go to benefit the Veterans Association of North County.  “VANC” is an association of more than 30 different veteran organizations serving over 5,000 members. VANC is working to open a new facility for all veterans and their families — the Veterans Association of North County Resource Center located at 1767 Mission Avenue. When completed, the building will represent our community’s appreciation and recognition to the men and women who have worn our country’s uniform to defend our freedom.  We hope that proceeds from this event will bring this facility one step closer to opening and serving veterans.  

Everyone wins at Golf With a Hero:  The Marines and Sailors are treated to a well deserved day off with golf, food and relaxing fun; local residents and businessmen and women get to know some real heroic warriors and have an opportunity personally to thank them AND our local veterans are helped as well.
