I'm pleased. It's much to be joined with the executive director of Oh my gosh, I almost said the wrong thing Colorado Veterans Project, Brandy Moriiny and welcome back to the show.
Oh thanks Mandy, Thanks thanks for having us on, and thanks for all your supportive veterans as well.
Well.
Well, I'm married to one and I'm a mom of one, so this is definitely a near and dear to my heart's situation. Tell me listeners a little bit about the Colorado Veterans Project.
What do you guys do?
Sure, we are a nonprofit. We've been in the state of Colorado for about ten years. Our main primary focus is helping veterans transition out of the military and kind of find their next mission. You know, what do they want to do next? Make some of those connections, provide some training, we give scholarships, and we support other veteran run organizations that also help with that mission.
So what are we doing to raise a little money and have a little fun coming up here in a what about a week?
Yes, So what I want wanted to share with your audience.
There's some information about our let Freedom and Swing Golf government. It is next week Thursday, September nineteenth. It's at the Ridge at Castle Pines North and Castle Pines, which is a beautiful, beautiful course, and you know it's all the proceeds will go towards our mission that I mentioned before in regards to betterm transitions. We host a couple events a year. This one is a big fundraiser for us.
So you have a couple of sponsorships available. I was looking at the whole registration thing. You've got some the big sponsorships are sold out, which is great for you guys. But there are whole sponsorships, there are lunch sponsors, there's various sponsorships that if you would like to get together with some friends or maybe have your company sponsor a whole or something, there are opportunities to do that, or you can just come and play.
What does a foursome cost for this?
A foursome is a little over eight hundred dollars, so it's actually pretty reasonable to go out and play at the It's quite a fun event.
We've got a lot of competitions, longest.
Drive, We've got some beat the pro kind of competitions, So it's just gonna be a lot of fun out there.
And it's a beautiful course as well.
So now, Brandy, I was never in the military, but my husband was, and after spending some time with him and his colleagues that he served with at various functions, they're the most mouthy, competitive group of people I've ever met in my entire life. Is this tournament inhabited by similar people? Because I enjoy that, I'm not gonna lie. I mean, there's a lot of competitiveness among the military branches. Do we see this at this golf tournament.
Well, you definitely see it in the military, and you definitely see it on the golf course. So there'll be some competitions. We do have some prizes for first place winners. And like I said, there's longest drive, there's closest to the pen. There's quite a few different opportunities for those who are very competitive.
Brandy Meridian with Colorado Veterans Project is my guest, how when do people need to sign up by? Because it is a week from tomorrow, so obviously you guys have a drop dead date here coming up pretty quick.
We do, I would.
Say probably by Monday mayor Tuesday next week at the latest.
