11th annual Eagles under the Oaks golf tournament
Golfers are hitting the links to benefit wounded veterans in South Mississippi.
The 11th annual Eagles under the Oaks Golf Tournament is underway at the Oaks Golf Club in Pass Christian.
Sponsored by Keesler Federal Credit Union, all the funds raised at the tournament will go toward Combat Wounded Veterans of South Mississippi.
The goal of this event is to provide physical, emotional, and financial assistance to those local heroes. Combat Wounded Veterans Executive Director Roger Sibley said, “This event has grown every year. We are just ecstatic. Every year it seems to get bigger and better. This year I think they are going to top out maybe a new goal high of 100,000 and this money goes straight to the veterans. It doesn’t go to any overhead cost. We are strictly all volunteers, a little bit of administrative cost, but other than that everything goes straight back to the veterans.”
