Seehafer Broadcasting in Manitowoc joined numerous other local organizations with a golf event to support veterans.
American Legion Post 477 – St. Nazianz held its annual Tee It Up Fore Troops Golf Outing May 14 at Autumn Ridge Golf Course, raising thousands of dollars to support Old Glory Honor Flight.
Golfers, veterans, and volunteers raised money to send veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials built in their honor.
Seehafer Broadcasting collected community donations over several months in an effort to increase the total amount raised.
Seehafer Broadcasting’s Vice President Terry Stevensonhad the privilege of presenting a check for $13,145 to Old Glory Honor Flight Executive Director Diane MacDonald.
“It never gets old. Never, ever,” MacDonald said. “We’ve been doing this since 2009 by honoring and thanking our veterans, and we owe it to the community for us to be able to do that. Without the community’s support, we’d never be able to do these special projects that we’re able to pull off.”
The golf course has hosted the event for four years.
“It’s an unbelievable privilege. I am so honored to be a part of this event,” Autumn Ridge Golf Course co-owner Chad Harrington said. “My father and father-in-law were both served in Vietnam. We were able to take them on one of the missions on September 11 of 2024. And I learned more about my father’s experience in one day than I had learned in 55 years.”
