PRESS RELEASE <br />FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE <br />Vietnam Veterans of IRC <br />Contact: Vic Diaz or Curtis Paulisin <br />Phone: (772) 794-0005 <br />Email: team@wircevents.com <br />Website: www.WIRC.org <br />[VERO BEACH, FLORIDA— April 21, 2020] Vietnam Veterans of Indian River County announce <br />that the date of their annual Mary Snyder Golf Tournament has been changed from June 13th <br />to August 1st, 2020. Proceeds go to locating and relocating homeless veterans and assisting <br />veterans in need. <br />Every day, in Indian River County, a homeless veteran goes without a safe place to sleep. Our <br />mission is to put an end to homelessness for our local veterans. Through past events, we have <br />constructed three multi -tenant housing structures and identified nearly 40 veterans and their <br />family members to move them into these homes. <br />Last year, proceeds from the annual golf tournament were used to furnish homes and assist <br />veterans with housing expenses. This year, a portion of the proceeds will go to continuing <br />housing assistance, which allows these veterans to pay a significantly reduced monthly housing <br />fee while they rebuild their lives. The remaining proceeds will be used toward the planned <br />purchase of property for the construction of a fourth housing structure in coordination with the <br />non-profit organization, Every Dream has a Price. <br />With your donations, the construction of these homes, and ongoing housing assistance, local <br />veterans improve their lives and make positive changes. Many grateful veterans have already <br />moved on to permanent housing, becoming self-sufficient once again. <br />All proceeds stay in Indian River County. Our mission is to ensure that every veteran in IRC, <br />who has served our country honorably, has a secure, safe place to live. <br />Last year's annual golf tournament broke both fund-raising and attendance records. Organizers <br />expect this year's event to break last year's records and generate even more support for our <br />Indian River County veterans. <br />The Mary Snyder Annual Golf Tournament, held at Sandridge Golf Course located at 5300 73rd <br />Street, Vero Beach, has a $70.00 per golfer fee, which includes 18 holes of golf, golf cart, <br />awards, and luncheon. One lucky golfer who lands the first hole -in -one on the 17th hole will WIN <br />a BRAND-NEW, 2020 Hyundai compliments of Tommy Chranza of Route 60 Hyundai in support <br />of this incredible event. <br />Vietnam Veterans of Indian River County is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization <br />
