Patriot Golf Day event raises thousands for families of fallen, injured soldiers

MYRTLE BEACH - Burroughs & Chapin Golf Management announced Monday that the company raised $27,890 during the third annual Patriot Golf Day event held earlier this month.

According to a news release, all proceeds will benefit Folds of Honor Foundation, an organization that provides scholarship opportunities to the families of soldiers who have been injured or killed in the line of duty.

Since the inception of the Patriot Golf Day event in 2007, Burroughs & Chapin Golf Management has raised $56,400 for the cause, the release said.

“I am very proud of what our B & C Golf Management PGA professionals, our friend Mike Binder of AHead, our golfers and the Myrtle Beach community accomplished to honor the brave men and women who are serving our county in the United States military,“ Bob Swezey, executive vice president of Burroughs & Chapin Resorts Division said in the release. “We’ve participated in the previous two Patriot Golf Day events and the challenge issued to our team was to surpass the previous donations made the Patriot Golf Day event.”
