Folds of Honor Foundation Aiding the Military and Their Families Receive Much-Needed Funds
(Long Neck, DE) – The Peninsula Golf & Country Club, the “Pebble Beach of the East,” raised over $37,000 from Patriot Golf play during the Labor Day holiday weekend. Benefitting the Folds of Honor Foundation, The Peninsula Golf & CC donated $1 from each of the 457 weekend rounds played. Individual donations were also accepted throughout the three days of play. In 2013, The Peninsula Golf & Country Club raised $22,261 which qualified the Club to rank as a Top 50 Facility out of the 5,200 facilities nationwide that are registered with the Folds of Honor Foundation.
“Our members clearly embraced this marvelous event as our fairways and greens were filled throughout the entire Labor Day weekend,” said Donald DeMasters, general manager of The Peninsula Golf & Country Club. “The Folds of Honor Foundation provides an incredible service to our service men and women and their families and I couldn’t be prouder of how our members once again fully supported Patriot Golf weekend.”
The Folds of Honor Foundation provides scholarships to families of soldiers and military personnel who have become disabled or lost their lives in the line of duty. Over the years, Patriot Golf Day has raised more than $27 million with more than 7,500 educational scholarships given to military families.
Additional funds were raised by The Peninsula Golf & Country Club on Patriot Golf weekend through hole sponsorships, free rounds of golf raffle drawings and a “Beat the Pro” contest with head golf professional Michael Neider. One of the weekend’s most successful efforts was an auction which netted $18,700.
