Century Club Military Appreciation Lunch Supports Our Local Heroes
Over $300,000
Donated To Military Personnel And Their Families Through Event
.
It’s a simple but true statement: The
Buick Invitational is much more than a
professional golf tournament. That couldn’t
be more evident than through the relationship
the Century Club of San Diego has forged with
our local military community over the years.
This strong bond continues at the 2008 Buick Invitational with the Century Club Military Appreciation Luncheon set for Tuesday, January 22. In addition, the Century Club starts a new tradition in 2008 with the creation of a Military Appreciation Pavilion on the course during tournament week. The Military Appreciation Pavilion will be open to all active-duty military personnel and their immediate families and will feature complimentary soft drinks, water and non-perishable snack food items.
During the 2007 Buick Invitational Military Appreciation event, the Century Club presented checks to military representatives totaling $150,000; bringing the three year total of the Military Appreciation Activities to over $300,000.
The Century Club embraces and honors our
local military community personnel by donating
funds to several of their deserving causes
through the Century Club’s registered 501 (c)(3)
organization. Such contributions are not used
in any way to defray the costs of putting on the
golf tournament. These donated monies are
forwarded by the Century Club to charities that
support active duty military personnel and their
families as part of the annual distribution of
Century Club contributions to charity.
In addition, as always, during the Buick Invitational, the Century Club offers complimentary admission to all active duty military personnel and members of their immediate family. The introduction of the Military Appreciation Pavilion in 2008 is just another way for the Century Club to say thank you to its local military personnel.
“This has been a wonderful partnership between all branches of the military, the Century Club and the PGA TOUR,” said Jeff Byroads, 2008 President and General Chairman of the Century Club. “We know how important the military has been to our country and to the San Diego community and we want to honor their efforts and give back to them each year at our tournament. This has been a tremendous outreach by the Century Club to our military and their families. The dollars we’ve raised has gone to many of their deserving charities to fund their worthwhile projects.”
