Over 130 golfers turn out for the first Golfin’ For The Troops fundraiser

Operation Support Our Troops-America’s first-ever Golfin’ For The Troops Fundraiser was held on Aug. 12 at Eagle Brook Country Club in Geneva. It was a great day filled with patriotism, beautiful weather and 131 golfers.

The nonprofit thanks all of the sponsors, supporters, golfers, volunteers, board members, and staff who helped make this event a success!
