Supporting Two Incredible Charities
The Turkey Tap Golf Tournament proudly raises funds and awareness in support of:
Wounded Warrior Project
Wounded Warrior Project provides programs and services designed to support wounded veterans and their families, including mental health, career counseling, long-term rehabilitation, and independence programs.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital advances research and treatment for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food.
Tournament-day raffles, charitable contests, donations, and designated sponsorship support help generate charitable impact for these organizations.
