Keepers Kontributions
Our community support has to start at home and The Keepers once again made an annual contribution to the Woodmont Employees Assitance Fund. This fund was created a number of years ago to provide emergency assistance for Woodmont employees who face financial needs because of a family crisis. The fund is supported in large part by contributions of the employees themselves through self directed deductions from their regular paychecks. It continues to grow because of their generosity and the generosity of Woodmont members who support the program with a pledges of their own. This is just a small way our members can thank those who serve their needs every day.
The Keepers are very proud of the fact that we were a founding contributor to this fund in it’s first year and have matched that contribution in each subsequent year. The fund has grown and provides employees with a bit of help when they need it most.
Through annual contributions The Keepers have made to military charities we have been able to support those brave men and women who protect our freedom and way of life. The contribution we make to the Marines Helping Marines of Maryland is one of those opportunities. This organization supports the treatment and recuperation of injured U.S. Marines at the Bethesda Naval Hospital, Walter Reed Army Hospital, and other military hospitals across the country. Contributions enable the program to provide TVs/CD players in patient rooms, airline tickets and travel money to family members, monthly cookouts on hospital grounds for the walking wounded, family members, and staff, and support, and other support services to recovering service men and women.
Through our year long Folds of Honor/SMGA Players Pool competitions The Keepers raise money for these two veteran’s organizations. The Folds of Honor Foundation program awards post secondary scholarships to spouses and children of military personal who lost their lives serving their country. SMGA and the Wounded Warriors provide golf equipment, instruction, practice time, and on course opportunities to vets and their families in the Washington Metropolitan area.
In addition, The Keepers spearhead the Second Time Around Program at Woodmont which collects used golf clubs, golf bags, and golf balls from our members and directs them to the Army Rehab Program at Fort Belvoir. As part of their rehab services for returning personnel from active military theaters this program provides golf instruction and playing opportunities to help injured veterans rediscover a life of normal back home. We have sent hundreds of sets of clubs and tens of thousands of golf balls over the last four years to help this program prosper.
Supporting worthy causes like these is part of the core mission of The Keepers. We are happy to be in a position to help them in their efforts to serve those in our community.
