A big thank you to everyone, especially to all our sponsors, for making our 19th Annual WVMF Golf Outing, sponsored by U.S. Vet General Contracting, LLC and WPS Health Solutions, another successful year! Every year we are amazed by the strong support we receive from our golfers and sponsors. This year, we sold out in four weeks with 152 golfers and together through registrations, donations, and sponsorships we were able to raise over $40,000. The funds from the golf outing this year will provide critical financial resources for the museum’s programs. We are so grateful for your support and extend a heartfelt thank you for your participation in our annual fundraiser. Thank you for helping us continue to share our Wisconsin veterans’ stories.
