Iron Construction 2008 Charity Golf Classic
Golf and Support Our Troops!
On Tuesday, September 9, 2008, our friends at Iron Construction will hold their fifth Annual Charity Golf Classic
at Cinnabar Hills, to benefit Operation: Care and Comfort (the recipient of funds for the last three years.) In 2007, Iron Construction raised over $58,000 for us, and we are honored to have been chosen as their 2008 recipient!
It was so great to see all 5 branches of the military play in a mini tournament within the tournament, sponsored by companies and individuals who wanted to show their support for our Troops. (The
Army team won last year!)
We need players, folks to sponsor military foursomes, holes, raffle prizes, and volunteers.
For more information on how to help, please visit www.ironconsturction.com
or Operation: Care and Comfort.
Pictures from last year's event are posted on the Iron Construction web site!
