Shelter to Soldier will host its 7th Annual Saving Lives, "One Swing at a Time" Golf Tournament, presented by Frontwave Credit Union, on Friday, April 24, at Singing Hills Golf Club at Sycuan, located at 3007 Dehesa Road in El Cajon. The annual fundraiser supports the nonprofit’s mission of rescuing dogs from local shelters and training them as service dogs for post-9/11 veterans living with PTSD, traumatic brain injury, military sexual trauma, and other service-related injuries. Held on the scenic, championship Willow Glen Golf Course, golfers of all skill levels will enjoy a fun afternoon featuring games, competitions, and prizes. Registration opens at 10 a.m., followed by a 12 p.m. shotgun start. Participants will be treated to a boxed sandwich lunch, beverages and spirits sponsored by Mike Hess Brewing Co., event swag bag, and a delicious dinner reception and awards ceremony following the tournament. Proceeds from the tournament directly support Shelter to Soldier’s lifesaving programs for both veterans and rescue dogs. An average of 18 U.S. veterans and one active-duty service member are lost to suicide each day in our country, while approximately 1,000 dogs are euthanized daily in the U.S. Shelter to Soldier, whose tagline is “Saving Lives, Two at a Time,” works to reduce these numbers by bringing trained rescue dogs together with wounded veterans to help both recover and move forward through their psychiatric service dog training program. This year’s Golf Tournament fundraising goal is $65,000. The 7th Annual Saving Lives, "One Swing at a Time" Golf Tournament is proudly presented by Frontwave Credit Union and supported by Sycuan Casino Resort and Summit Subaru El Cajon, Albatross Sponsors, and UNITE Hair, an Eagle Sponsor.
