“This is one of the series of fundraising events to support the Virginia National Guard Historical Foundation,” explained Al Barnes, Command Historian. “Our historical and educational mission is to preserve and promote Virginia’s military history through the development of meaningful education programs, museum-quality exhibits and participation in appropriate events that further the understanding of the past, clarify the present and provide vision for the future.”
Corporate and individual sponsorship opportunities are available. Three named sponsorships for the “Closest to the pin Front Nine,” “Longest Drive” and “Closest to the pin Back Nine.” Additionally, golf hole sponsorships are available. Sponsors receive their name and logo on a printed sign posted at the green for the hole for which they sponsor, as well as receive recognition during the closing ceremony. The funds raised during the tournament are in support of the construction of the Richmond-based Virginia National Guard Museum.
“The story of the Virginia National Guard is the story of Virginia, from the earliest colonial days to today’s events,” Barnes said. “The ultimate goal of the historical foundation is to provide a museum and world-class research center that will allows historians and interested citizens to research all aspects of Virginia’s military history.”
The custom designed museum is intended to be constructed on the campus of the Virginia War Memorial in downtown Richmond, Virginia. Watch this promotional video.
