Northern Region Golf Tournament Raises $19,000 For Charity

North Country Honor Flight Receives Donation

NYSCOPBA members from the Northern Region held their annual Northern Region Charity Golf Tournament to benefit North Country Honor Flight on Tuesday, September 2, 2020.
The tournament, with over 140 participants, was held at the Malone Golf Club. Golfers played in a 18 hole scramble and held raffles that raised $19,000 for the North Country Honor Flight.
North Country Honor flight is a 501 (C) 3 charity. Dedicated supporters and volunteers organize a wide variety of fundraisers throughout the year to provide free, safe transportation for our veterans to Washington, D.C. Each veteran travels with a dedicated, capable guardian responsible for his or her comfort and safety. Every Honor Flight group is accompanied by medical personnel. Honor Flight trips depart and return on the same day, so no overnight stay is required while traveling, and all necessary transportation is provided to and from the local airport as well as within Washington, D.C.
“Amidst this pandemic, charities across the North Country have seen their fundraising virtually come to a halt in many cases because of the inability to hold much needed events. These funds that they raise are critical to their charitable missions. Thankfully, in September, we were able to hold our annual Northern Region Golf Tournament at Malone Golf Club. The tournament was a great success. Because of the support of our sponsors and participants, we raised $19,000 for a charity that supports our veterans. It is vitally to important to recognize their sacrifice to this country and the money raised at the tournament will go towards that mission.” – stated John Roberts, NYSCOPBA Northern Region Vice President.
