Connestee Falls Golfers Give2 the Troops
DONATE YOUR GOLF EQUIPMENT
TO OUR TROOPS May 24-26, 2010
Our troops need your used golf equipment!
(Full sets of clubs, individual clubs and golf balls in good condition)
We need cash donations, too!
It costs about $35 to send a set of clubs to Iraq. So in addition to golfing equipment, monetary donations are welcome to help pay for shipping overseas. Checks should be made out to Give2TheTroops Inc. and turned into an official collection site. Checks may also be mailed to 3109 Landmark St., Greenville, NC 27834. Give2TheTroops is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization. Donors will receive a receipt for tax purposes.
How is the equipment used?
There are few recreational outlets available in Iraq or Afghanistan, so when off duty, our troops like to unwind by hitting golf balls from rooftops, aircraft carrier decks, make-shift driving ranges and even from the edge of a dessert. Thanks to your generosity, our troops can unwind after a stressful day on the battlefield by hitting golf balls… with your equipment.
How can I help?
Alert your fellow golf club members and friends that a “Give to the troops” campaign is underway. Tell them to clean house, gather up their unused equipment, dust if off and prepare it for donation.
Where do I take my equipment?
Items may be deposited at any of the collection sites listed below. Then they will be collected for transportation to the state Give2TheTroops branch in Greenville, NC for shipment overseas. Items may be deposited Monday through Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 24-26, 2010.
Connestee Falls Golf Club has been authorized by the Give2thetroops organization to collect equipment and monetary donations.
