KATY, TX – Heritage Golf Group is proud to announce that Meadowbrook Farms Golf Club, a Heritage Golf Group property, will donate a new mortgage-free home to a military veteran during the upcoming Birdies for the Brave® event on November 7, 2015. The home will be given away to a carefully selected veteran in partnership with the Military Warriors Support Foundation; a non-profit organization providing support for America’s wounded veterans as they transition into civilian life. The Military Warriors Support Foundation carries out an extensive vetting process to determine the veteran most in need and deserving of the donation.
The Birdies for the Brave event will commence with registration and a continental breakfast at 8:30am followed by a patriotic Opening Ceremony at 9:30am and a shotgun start at 10:00am. Following tournament play at 3:00pm the post-round reception will feature dinner for all participants and guests, as well as a silent auction, raffles and an awards presentation, during which one lucky veteran and their family will receive the keys to their new home.
“It’s an incredible honor for Meadowbrook Farms Golf Club to be a part of donating a new home that will provide many years of prosperity and security for a veteran of our nation’s military,” said Layne Ricks, general manager of Meadowbrook Farms Golf Club. “We would like to extend a sincere thanks to the Military Warriors Support Foundation for partnering with us on such a wonderful effort. Whenever we have an opportunity to impact the lives of our military members and their families, our hope is to do all that we can.”
One of six Heritage Golf Group properties hosting a Birdies for the Brave event this year, Meadowbrook Farms Golf Club has raised more than $100,000 for the Birdies for the Brave program this year and nearly a million dollars since the program’s inception. Since 2008, Heritage Golf Group has worked with club members, sponsors and local community leaders to raise more than $2.4 million for military homefront charities.
Meadowbrook Farms Golf Club is still accepting sponsors and donors as well as teams or individuals who want to play in the charity golf tournament. For more information contact Layne Ricks at lricks@heritagegolfgroup.com or call (281) 693-4653.
