The Gateway Warrior Foundation was established by a group of St. Louis executives in September, 2013. A non-profit organization, its sole purpose is to help men and women who have paid a tremendous price for defending the United States in the War on Terror.
The Gateway Warrior Foundation mission is to raise funds to support organizations providing support services for wounded men and women who live in Missouri. Focus Marines Foundation is fortunate to be one of the organizations supported by GWF.
The major fund-raising event for the Gateway Warrior Foundation is their annual Golf Benefit held this year in October at the Country Club of St. Albans. This will be the 5th annual Golf Benefit conducted to support our veterans. This year’s event will feature a golf tournament and auction to raise funds for selected veteran support groups. In 2014 the proceeds of their fund-raising activities will go to the St. Louis Fisher House, Honor Flight chapter in St. Louis, and of course Focus Marines.
In addition to golf, the event will also feature veterans from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, and Iraq. An all Military Honor Guard will post the colors, and a bugler will play “Taps” prior to the golf tournament to honor the military men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our freedom.
The next issue of InFOCUS will provide details of the Golf Benefit, and information on how to get tickets.
