THANKS TO ALL OF OUR GENEROUS DONORS!
The 3nd Annual ChariZy Open changed locations and was held at Crystal Springs Golf Club in Hamburg, NJ. We had our biggest turnout for golfers with 92 participants and well over 100 in attendance for the tournament dinner and ceremony. All in all, $5,438 was raised for Backpacks For Life. A special thanks to all those who participated in the event, our sponsors and lovely volunteers for making it a day to remember. Congratulations to all of our winners, we look forward to seeing you all back next year to defend your titles. Through the power of teamwork, we can achieve great things!
The mission of Backpacks For Life is to provide a unique and personalized support system for homeless and at-risk veterans struggling to reintegrate into civilian life. After being equipped with the right tools and solutions, we want Veterans of all eras to seamlessly and confidently reintegrate into society and thrive. Through our two main programs, we can effectively support and empower our Veterans, reigniting the flame to live and succeed inside of them.
