Buffalo MO: The United States’ only national wildlife conservation organization, the Quail and Upland Wildlife Federation, Inc. (QUWF) located in Missouri, announces the sponsorship of the “Hole In One” of $10,000.00 at the upcoming Veterans Benefit Golf Tournament at Dallas County’s own Dream Valley Golf Course on Saturday, September 7th. Hole # 8 is the challenge for the prize. The Golf tournament is named in honor of Lonnie Howard, the local DAV Chapter prior commander and State Commander.
“We are appreciative of the opportunity to assist our local and regional veterans serviced by the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) with its efforts to raise funds in support of the direct needs of our local veterans and their families” explains Craig Alderman, a veteran himself and Founder of QUWF. “My membership in the DAV chapter revealed the important function the DAV provides to all military veterans” Alderman states. The DAV, is the only veteran organization formed as an official act of the U.S. Congress as a 501C4 national organization to serve all veterans. The DAV uses every penny raised to assist those veterans and their families locally, in need. Locally all chapter members, officers and service officers are volunteers, receiving no compensation.
“We also want to thank the golfers who fully fill all teams to provide a great event that means so much to the heroes to whom our freedom is based on. Dream Valley Golf Course helped the DAV create this benefit for all veterans and deserves special recognition, thank you. They have earned the support of our community as well” Craig reflects.
The QUWF organization and its sponsors are the only veteran founded, not for profit, wildlife conservation in the U.S. and focuses on assistance to veteran private landowners at the grass roots level.
