July 4th golf event supports U.S. troops

Thunder Canyon, a private golf and country club located in Washoe Valley, is inviting the public to play 18 holes of golf on July 4th in support of "Tee It Up For The Troops." This tournament hosted by Thunder Canyon and its membership will be open to the public, with proceeds from the tournament and any donations going to the campaign.

Tee it up for the Troops was established in 2005 by the family and friends of a soldier who enlisted in the U.S. Army after Sept. 11, 2001. When the son was asked by his father what he needed, the son responded by asking his father to do something for the soldiers and their families back home. Tee It Up For The Troops was created to honor that request and to recognize the needs of all veterans who have served and continue to serve this nation.

Opening ceremony begins at 9 a.m. followed immediately by a shotgun start.

This day of golf includes 18 holes with a cart and a barbecue lunch. Cost is $80 per player, $60 for all active or retired military personnel. To sign-up, contact the Thunder Canyon Golf Shop at 882-4597. Space is limited and sign-ups will be completed by July 1.

Event and tee sponsorships are available. Contact Bill Gibson at (775) 882-0882 for information regarding these opportunities.
