Willis Allen Real Estate presents "We Support the Troops" charity golf tournament

FALLBROOK – Willis Allen Real Estate’s first “We Support the Troops” charity golf tournament slated for November 15 will benefit North County Warrior Support and Soldiers Who Salsa. The shotgun start team scramble format tournament will be held at the Golf Club of California in Sycamore Ranch. Check in will start at 9 a.m. with play starting at 11:30.

The North County Warrior Support, founded in 2003, is a local 501c3 organization established by Jack and Sue Gierster, owners of Funday RV in Oceanside, with a mission to support junior enlisted service members and their families providing automobile repairs that otherwise are not possible with their family budgets.

Since its inception it has serviced over 150 vehicles at a value over $300,000. In addition, it annually supports Camp Pendleton families each Christmas with the help of a host of volunteers who deliver trees, food and gifts for family members.

Soldiers Who Salsa, also a 501c3, was established as a therapy program for Wounded Warriors at Naval Hospital San Diego and Bethesda Naval Hospital, Md. The idea for this program was sparked by Mary Murphy of “So You Think You Can Dance” fame.

This therapy provides an opportunity for those recovering from amputations, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury to regain both physical co-ordination and socialization skills. Under the direction of dance instructor Jennifer Ables and volunteers serving as dance partners, these recovering heroes prepare to move forward with their lives.

This event promises to be a memorable experience with the satisfaction of contributing to the men and women in the military who unconditionally dedicate their service to the freedom of this great nation.

The tournament provides the opportunity to support these worthwhile charities by entering the tournament or by sponsoring a military member to play along with additional sponsorships or donations.
