He added, "With this support we have been able to fund services and support for a variety of entities that are meeting the challenge of the homeless veteran population in our community. We have also been able to provide a great deal of support to children and families who have had to deal with some extremely serious medical conditions."
"We are anticipating a full sellout with 144 golfers this year," said Kourtney Turner, Co-Founder and Vice-President of JTF. Kourtney continued with, "It's going to be another great year and we're excited to put on another tournament to help these veterans, these kids and their families who are impacted by their circumstances.
