Tee it up for the Troops ~ Longest Day of Golf

Thank you for supporting our wounded and disabled veterans and their families during the “Longest Day of Golf for the Troops” on June 20.

“The Longest Day” was a famous book and movie (starring John Wayne) honoring those who fought for our freedom on D-Day (June 6, 1944). On Friday, June 20 (the longest day of the year), Bunker Hills Golf Club is hosting the Inaugural Longest Day of Golf for the Troops.

Up to twenty golfers will be Teeing It Up for the Troops at the crack of dawn, and playing until sundown to raise money for Tee It Up for the Troops and their partner charitable organizations serving the needs of fallen and disabled veterans and their families.

Jeff Locke, MN Vikings punter, who will be participating in the event said “Both my father and grandfather served in the military and I have a great appreciation for the sacrifices that all of our veterans and their families have made for our country. Last year, I was fortunate to have Josh Freeman donate $10,000 to the Minneapolis VA Medical Center as part of our deal to let him wear my jersey #12.

“This year, I hope to raise as much money as I can for this event to continue giving back and supporting veterans here in Minnesota and across the country.”

3rd Annual Reunion Event a Huge Success

110 attendees.  96 golfers.  Thirty warriors reunited.  Three productive breakout sessions.   Numerous connections made.  Countless memories created.  We were blessed with wonderful sunshine, beautiful surroundings, challenging golf courses, and a wonderful group of people gathered together to support a critical cause – reuniting a diverse group of warriors from all across the country.

“This weekend was one of the greatest moments of my life since becoming a Wounded Warrior and the camaraderie was absolutely incredible. To be part of such a wonderful event and to be around other Wounded Warriors was definitely a healing feeling.”

“You have given me just a little more hope that things can get better and that there are good people in the world. The stories of inspiration from this weekend and the support I received from perfect strangers was more than I ever expected.”

3rd Annual Tee it up for the Troops Reunion

Join us for the 3rd Annual Tee it up for the Troops Reunion Event in Orlando Florida. Invite a friend, family member or comrade to this “reunion” and enjoy time together while also supporting the men and women.

 

The Reunion event was started in 2012 as an annual event to bring together the Tee it up for the Troops Family from across the country at Reunion Resort in Orlando, Florida.

More than bringing together sponsors, supporters, and friends, we wanted to bring together wounded warriors who can reunite with friends and comrades from the battle field or the hospital where they spent a considerable amount of time in recovery.

This is a special event at a premiere Resort with great golf and better fellowship.
