3rd Annual Golf Charity Scramble

For those who Served and Still in the Fight!

 

In 2021, Hawthorn Bank along with Meadow Lake Golf Club decided to host our first charity golf tournament helping those who served and are still serving in our military. 

 

The goal  for the golf tournament is to provide one $10,000 Final Training Sponsorship to a Veteran who has been approved to receive a Service Dog from Retrieving Freedom, Inc. The average cost to raise, train, and place a Veteran Service Dog can exceed $30,000 and they provide their services at no cost to their clients!

 

We want to help our Veterans and Service Members!!  The mission of Retrieving Freedom, Inc. is close to our hearts with Whiteman Air Force Base being located right down the road from us in Knob Noster, MO. Our hope is to spread awareness not just at our tournament but throughout the year to Veterans suffering from a disability, to let them know we are here to fight this battle alongside you! And there are organizations like Retrieving Freedom that can help. 

 

Local nonprofits like VFW Post 1834, American Legion, White Air Force Base, and the Veterans Home in Warrensburg also receive funds from this event. Retrieving Freedom identifies and selects an approved Veteran client on track to receive their Service Dog to receive the funds donated. 

 

We are now in our 3^rd year of the tournament and this year our 1^st Veteran placement Patrick and his wonderful Service Dog June will be present on Aug 26^th when we host the golf tournament.

 

Thanks for all RFI does to help our Veterans and children with autism. 

 

Sincerely,

Andrew Engelhart (Hawthorn Bank)
