On behalf of the SSG Swanson support Charities for Veterans and their Families, I would like to thank all who played in our first of a yearly golf tournament. We are honored and humbled to be associated with such caring individuals who believe in our Nations Veterans.

 

To the many businesses that have contributed financially and donated items, we thank for your continuing support. When we started this new journey in our lives we sought the advice of countless individuals and most importantly those who have done so much for us as a Nation, our Veterans. In a letter from the President of the United States of America, he recognized our Foundation and stated “That our Nations Veterans deserve our very best”. By your continuing support and your presence at our events, I know you all echo this statement!

 

A special thanks to Marlton Golf Club for hosting the event and to all of the staff that worked tirelessly to ensure that the tournament would be a success. I am equally proud of Gary A. Padgett. He has worked tirelessly on this event and it’s because of his compassion and vision for the foundation that this event was a success.

 

To the Redskins Hoggettes, thank you for all you have done for our foundation! You have been involved in other events alongside of us. You bring so much joy to our region and your commitment to give back to charities is truly a blessing.

 

To our family and friends thank you for volunteering your time and talent to ensure that things went smoothly during this event. Upon paying all expenses associated with the tournament we were able to raise over $10,000.00 from our corporate sponsors, sponsoring individual holes, 78 golfers, silent auction and 50/50 raffle. Below is a list of our sponsors.
