Every
year, American veterans return home from around the globe to re-assimilate into
society. This transition is usually a difficult one, often made even more
challenging by debilitating injuries suffered while serving. The World’s Largest Golf
Outing has made it their mission to help
ease this transition, by providing an unlikely source of rehabilitation: Golf!
For wounded veterans, the
challenges are both physical and psychological. The World’s Largest Golf Outing has
partnered with military charities over the past seven years to provide an
outlet for these brave men and women, among many others. The event allows them
to see how much they are appreciated and helps clear their minds with a round
of golf among friends, family, and fellow servicemen and women.
The response has been
remarkable. Since 2011, The World’s Largest Golf Outing has raised over $3.5
million for various charities, and this year’s event right now has 26 States
and Ontario on board with upwards of 3,000 pre-signed golfers, and is shaping
up to be one of the largest in history. Supporting Fisher House Foundation and Arnie’s Army Charitable Foundation, WLGO 2017 will
take place on Monday, May 1st at
over 125 golf courses in the United States and Canada.
All players are welcome,
regardless of skill level, age, or gender! Sponsorship opportunities are
available, and donations are highly encouraged. Golf’s true philanthropic
potential is uncovered at outings and events every day, and will be on display
in full force at The World’s Largest Golf Outing!
Those interested can
consider registering for
or donating to
the World’s Largest Golf Outing this year. A cause and a record certainly
worthy of the effort.
