The Playa II is raising funds for Helping Hands for Freedom a locally based Military 501c3 charity.
On Saturday September 21, Playa II is hosting a golf fundraising tournament at Stonecreek Golf Club.
Helping Hands for Freedom has a primary mission to support the families of the fallen, wounded and deployed with serious financial life needs such as mortgage/rent, car payments, utilities etc. HHFF also arranges special event experiences by taking Gold Star families (families who lost a loved one because of the conflict) or Wounded Veteran families, to ballgames, amusement parks and other entertainment venues.
Moon Valley resident Eric Snelz is the CEO of Helping Hands for Freedom. His son did two tours in Afghanistan with the 1st Marines and returned with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and PTSD. This opened Eric’s eyes to the plight of other parents/survivors not so fortunate, so he decided to get involved with HHFF.
The tournament is a scramble format which kicks off at 7:30 AM at Stonecreek Golf Club at 4435 E. Paradise Vlg Pkwy S in Phoenix. Lunch follows at The Playa II Bar and Grill after golf.
The cost to participate is $150 per golfer. If you cannot make golf, or just aren’t a golfer, you can donate $150 to sponsor a Wounded Veteran or Gold Star family member to play. There are also donation options starting at $25 and a special sponsorship for the national anthem played by Dr. Jesse McGuire.
