<v Speaker 3>What do you guys do?

13
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Sure, we are a nonprofit. We've been in the state

14
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.320
<v Speaker 2>of Colorado for about ten years. Our main primary focus

15
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 2>is helping veterans transition out of the military and kind

16
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:40.600
<v Speaker 2>of find their next mission. You know, what do they

17
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.679
<v Speaker 2>want to do next? Make some of those connections, provide

18
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.920
<v Speaker 2>some training, we give scholarships, and we support other veteran

19
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.079
<v Speaker 2>run organizations that also help with that mission.

20
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 1>So what are we doing to raise a little money

21
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.079

<v Speaker 3>Yes, So what I want wanted to share with your audience.

24
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:04.719
<v Speaker 2>There's some information about our let Freedom and Swing Golf government.

25
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.400
<v Speaker 2>It is next week Thursday, September nineteenth. It's at the

26
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.280

<v Speaker 2>a beautiful, beautiful course, and you know it's all the

28
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>proceeds will go towards our mission that I mentioned before

29
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.200
<v Speaker 2>in regards to betterm transitions. We host a couple events

30
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.959
<v Speaker 2>a year. This one is a big fundraiser for us.

31
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 1>So you have a couple of sponsorships available. I was

32
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>looking at the whole registration thing. You've got some the

33
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 1>big sponsorships are sold out, which is great for you guys.

34
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>But there are whole sponsorships, there are lunch sponsors, there's

35
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 1>various sponsorships that if you would like to get together

36
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 1>with some friends or maybe have your company sponsor a

37
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>whole or something, there are opportunities to do that, or

38
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you can just come and play.

39
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 3>What does a foursome cost for this?

40
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>A foursome is a little over eight hundred dollars, so

41
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 2>it's actually pretty reasonable to go out and play at

42
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.280
<v Speaker 2>the It's quite a fun event.

43
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 3>We've got a lot of competitions, longest.

44
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.719
<v Speaker 2>Drive, We've got some beat the pro kind of competitions,

45
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 2>So it's just gonna be a lot of fun out there.

46
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 3>And it's a beautiful course as well.

47
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>So now, Brandy, I was never in the military, but

48
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 1>my husband was, and after spending some time with him

49
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>and his colleagues that he served with at various functions,

50
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>they're the most mouthy, competitive group of people I've ever

51
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 1>met in my entire life. Is this tournament inhabited by

52
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 1>similar people? Because I enjoy that, I'm not gonna lie.

53
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's a lot of competitiveness among the military branches.

54
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Do we see this at this golf tournament.

55
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, you definitely see it in the military, and you

56
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.039
<v Speaker 2>definitely see it on the golf course. So there'll be

57
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.319
<v Speaker 2>some competitions. We do have some prizes for first place winners.

58
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 2>And like I said, there's longest drive, there's closest to

59
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 2>the pen. There's quite a few different opportunities for those

60
00:02:58.840 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 2>who are very competitive.

61
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.719
