Golf tournament to benefit wounded vets, Sept 8
August 20, 2008
Two Contra Costa County businessmen have found a meaningful way to give back to the wounded military men and women who have fought for our freedom and liberties. Together, with the assistance of the Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes (CSAH) out of Washington, D.C., they are instituting an inaugural charity golf tournament to raise money for our wounded soldiers returning from war. Chairman Gregory Di Loreto, President of Bravo Building Co. Inc. (Pittsburg, Ca.) and Co-Chairmen Brandon Day, Vice-President of Wachovia Securities (Walnut Creek, Ca.) chose CSAH, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to rebuilding the lives of severely wounded war veterans and their families, as the charity for the tournament.
The tournament, dinner and silent auction will be held on Monday, September 8, 2008 at the Oakhurst Country Club, 1001 Peacock Creek Drive in Clayton. Shotgun start begins at 10:30 a.m., dinner starts at 5:30 p.m. A raffle will be held for a trip for two to Washington, D.C. Sponsorships, foursomes and single-player golf tickets are available. For more information or to sponsor, donate or volunteer, contact Bonnie Seck at GiveandGolf@yahoo.com or call 925-586-1358.
