Annual PHM-AO Charity Invitational benefiting Operation Homefront and K9's for Warriors
Monday March 28, 2022 @ Snee Farm Country Club
VFW Post Member and comrade Kiel Gallant is organizing a Charitable golf tournament to benefit 2 Veteran related charities, Operation Homefront and K9's for Warriors.
- Operation Homefront is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive — not simply struggle to get by — in the communities they have worked so hard to protect.
- K9's for Warriors is determined to end veteran suicide, K9s For Warriors is the nation's largest provider of trained Service Dogs to military veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury and/or military sexual trauma.
As a disabled veteran, Keil knows both these charities are doing fabulous things for our vet population, and both have very strong financials as for their charitable giving. You can reach Kiel Gallant, at 843-697-1444 or by email at kiel.gallant@phmloans.com. See following forms:
