Potsdam Humane Society’s 11th annual Pets & Vets Golf Tournament was the most successful golf fundraiser the society has had to date!
The tournament held on June 5, at Partridge Run Golf & Country Club raised $18,000 with 18 teams of golfers for the PHS Veterans Program which funds pets for Veterans at no charge.
A HUGE Thank You goes out to the sponsors of the tournament (see below) and to the loyal golfers, many of whom are regular participants of the annual fundraiser. Many golfers were Veterans themselves. The VFW 1231 of Canton sent a team for the 11th year in a row!
The event funds PHS’s Veterans Adoption Program, and the Veteran support means a lot to everyone. Flags fly near the course and all sponsor signs are decorated with the red, white, and blue. Patriotism abounds along with fellowship and dedication to our Veterans.
In addition to the generous sponsors and golfers, local news media helped get the word out were The Free Trader, b99.3 Radio, and North Country This Week.
A sincere thank you goes out to Kevin Maginn, golf pro at Partridge Run Golf Course, for an exceptionally well run golf tournament.
