American Legion Hosts Golf Tournament to Support Veterans

The Smithville American Legion Post 58 is gearing up for its annual Golf Tournament, set to take place on Thursday, September 5, at Paradise Pointe Golf Course on Smithville Lake. The event serves as a major fundraiser supporting local veterans, youth programs, and community initiatives.

Hosted by the Post 58 Family—including Veterans, Sons of the American Legion, the Auxiliary, and the Legion Riders—the tournament aims to generate thousands of dollars for programs that promote citizenship, patriotism, and veteran care throughout the region.

Organizers are currently seeking sponsors for various tournament categories, including all 18 holes, the driving range, breakfast, lunch, and golf carts. Sponsors will receive recognition through on-site signage featuring their company name or logo, ensuring high visibility among participants.

As a 501(c)(19) charitable organization, all donations to Post 58 are tax-deductible. The group has made a significant impact in the Smithville area, with a family membership exceeding 400 and annual contributions to school programs often surpassing $20,000.

Community members and local businesses are encouraged to support the event by sponsoring or registering a team for a day of camaraderie and golf—all for a worthy cause.
