Thank a Veteran
How it all began...
Retired school teacher and very active volunteer, Nancy Butler, parlayed her love of golf into establishing the Thank A Veteran Golf Event several years ago to show her appreciation and give back to the many men and women who have served in the armed forces.
​
"They sacrifice so much for us. If I can give them one day to give thanks, then I feel like I've done something," she says enthusiastically.
Veterans play for free (or make a voluntary donation), while others pay a very reasonable set fee. Still other individuals and local business donate goods and services for silent auction and raffle items to raise money for various veteran-based organizations.
​
Veterans are treated to a boxed lunch while on the course and a catered dinner when play is complete. The event is capped off with prizes awarded to winning teams and sponsor recognition ending with the silent auction and raffle.
