Golfers raise money for Wisconsin Veterans Home
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (WEAU) – An annual event helping raise money for veterans is back in Chippewa Falls.
The 6th Annual Wisconsin Veterans Home Golf Outing teed off this morning.
The event is hosted by Brew Pub Lotzza Motzza Pizza and the Lake Hallie Golf Course.
Matt Selvig, Advertising and Promotions Manager with Brew Pub, said over the last five years the outing has raised over $51,000 for area veterans.
He said this year the community is coming together more than ever before, with around 20 teams participating for a good cause.
“It’s going to a great cause to help out veterans and really give them the opportunity to do things above and beyond what they normally do, whether it’s go to a baseball game or music in the park or go fishing, so it’s for a great cause,” said Selvig.
Money raised will go to the Chippewa Valls Veterans Home.
This year’s event also featured guest speaker, Kyle Nyseth.
Nyseth is a combat veteran of three wars with 22 years of service in the United States Navy
