SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA VETFUND MEMORIAL DAY GOLF TOURNAMENT NEXT FRIDAY, MAY 15

The California Department of Veterans Affairs (CDVA), along with our major sponsors; Cumulus Media, Ventura County Star, Horizon Airlines, and Pacific Beverage, will hold their Southern California VetFund Memorial Day Golf Tournament on Friday, May 15th at the Sea Bee Golf Course, located at Naval Base Ventura County in Port Hueneme, CA.

The Golf Tournament will have a shotgun start at 9:00 am, with registration at 8:00 am, and a lunch and putting contest following the event. The $150 entry fee includes 18 holes of golf, a cart, lunch and a day of fun. Everyone who supports veterans is invited to participate.

“The construction phase at the Veterans Homes of California in Ventura, and Lancaster is coming to an end. CDVA can now shift our focus to opening these homes and moving in veterans,” stated CDVA Secretary Tom Johnson. “We are excited because the VetFund Memorial Day Golf Tournament offers the community a chance to get involved and support the veterans homes. We believe that this tournament will continue to serve the veterans in Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles Counties for years to come.”

The VetFund provides funding for special projects for veterans throughout the state. These projects range from the purchase of a wheel chair pusher for the veterans homes and supporting programs for homeless veterans, to assisting CDVA in providing education and outreach to veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
