We are pleased to announce the first annual Army Family Programs Charity Golf Tournament, sponsored by the Greater Los Angeles Chapter, Association of the United States Army (AUSA). AUSA is a private, non-profit educational organization that supports America's Army - Active, National Guard, Reserve, Civilians, Retirees and family members. AUSA is a 501(c) (3) Non-Profit Organization with 125 chapters and over 100,000 individual members worldwide.

Our Army has been engaged in the Global War on Terror since 2001. Our Soldiers and Families experience hardships with transitions from assignments and extreme stresses on the Families. The vast majority of Soldiers in the Greater Los Angeles Area are members of the Army National Guard and Army Reserve. Transition from civilian careers to one year of active duty creates financial hardships for many. Many of our Soldiers have deployed multiple times and some have returned with injuries, both physically and psychologically. The proceeds from the golf tournament will allow AUSA to provide assistance to local Army Units, Soldiers and families in the Greater Los Angeles Area.

The Charity Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, September 27, 2010, at the Navy Golf Course, 5660 Orangewood Ave. Cypress, CA 90630.

The activities will include a morning continental breakfast, pre-tournament fund raising activities, golf tournament, an awards and recognition luncheon.

The Greater Los Angeles Chapter welcomes you to participate in the tournament and/or become a sponsor. For your donation, you will receive sponsor recognition, tickets for the tournament (see below) and tickets to the luncheon awards and recognition. You may also donate tickets so that a Soldier can play in the tournament and/or attend the luncheon.

The motto for this event is: Partnering for the Welfare of Those Who Serve -Building Support for America’s Soldiers and Families.
