15th Annual Heroes First Foundation Golf Tournament
Huge Success! Over 288 golfers and donations for paws4vets, Folds of Honor and the Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program.
Heroes First Foundation and paws4vets was humbled with the tremendous support of our 15th Annual Golf tournament at the Chateau Elan Golf Course. We had 288 golfers and representatives from paws4vets, Folds of Honor, Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program, US Army, US Navy, Marine Corps, US Air Force, Duluth Police Department, Norcross Police Department and the Alabama National Guard. We were also fortunate to have many of our very generous sponsors at our event. We were able to provide paws4vets a donation of $ 70,000, a donation of $ 10,000 to Folds of Honor and a donation of $ 10,000 to the Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program. Without the support and generosity of everyone listed below and the support of our local community, none of that would have been possible. Thank you!!!
Heroes First Foundation, Inc.
The Heroes First Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) organization that was established in 2009 to provide additional support to our military and first responder families. We recognize the countless hours spent and sacrifices made by our military heroes, police officers and firefighters to protect our lives, property, families and American freedom. For some, the hardship begins immediately and for others, the hardship grows over time. The Heroes First Foundation is committed to doing all we can do to support these heroes because we know that the freedoms we enjoy, are not free.
Supporting paws4people
Since 2012, The Heroes First Foundation has contributed funds raised from our annual charity golf outing for paws4vets. The paws4people foundation raises, trains and places Assistance Dogs with children, veterans, military dependents and civilians living with disabilities. The organization provides certification, insurance and support for the client/dog teams for the duration of their career.
Through the paws4vets Assistance Dog Placement Program (p4vADPP), Veterans, Active-Duty Service Members (ADSM) or their dependents with physical, neurological, psychiatric or emotional disabilities can receive Psychiatric Service Dogs, Mobility Service Dogs and Rehabilitative Assistance Dogs free of charge.
