The Patriots Day golf tournament to benefit the Folds of Honor Foundation was a big success again this year, according to Patriots Day Committee member Jim Anderson.
The tournament was played Saturday at the Tubac Golf Resort with a full field signed up for the “Dropout” scramble.
“We exceeded last year’s total by 33 percent,” Anderson said. The tournament raised $20,500 this year as compared to $15,200 last year.
“It went very, very well and everybody had a tremendous time.”
The money raised goes to the Folds of Honor Foundation, which provides scholarships for family members of fallen and disabled veterans.
Thyiena Mendez, a Southern Arizona scholarship recipient was in attendance for the tournament.
“She’s really the reason we had the tournament,” Anderson said. “We wanted to make sure we had someone from Southern Arizona as a recipient.”
