16th Annual Charity Golf Tournament

We are thrilled to announce the SIXTEENTH Annual Golf Tournament and Auction to benefit Virginia German Shepherd Rescue! Just like fine wine, our annual tournament only grows better with age! How can you help make this event better? By signing up as a player, a sponsor, a donor, or all of the above! Please consider joining us to make this very worthy cause a great success. This year's event marks our 23rd anniversary. Your continued support will help us to see another 23 years of finding good homes for good dogs.

 

If you are familiar with our work, you already know that VGSR is one of the few rescues in the area that helps elderly dogs and dogs with special needs or medical issues. Often, we are their only hope and it is only with your generosity and support that we can continue to assist so many dogs that need our help.

 

VGSR is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization run entirely by volunteers. One hundred percent of our funding comes from donations and fundraising efforts like the annual golf tournament. We depend on this event to help us pay for spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, medical exams, heartworm testing and treatment, and many other medical treatments that may be required. By joining us at the tournament, you will have the opportunity to meet some of the wonderful dogs VGSR has saved with your help. 

 

Sponsors with signs on the course promote their businesses while giving back to the community they serve. In turn, this provides an advantage in marketing to a wide customer base. Individual sponsors have the opportunity to pay tribute to special friends and family (canines included) who have brought love and joy to their lives. 

 

If you are a previous sponsor/player/donor, thank you so very much for contributing to our rescue mission. Not familiar with the work of VGSR? Then please visit our website at www.vgsr.org. One look into the soulful eyes of the dogs on the website says it all!! You can contact us at golf@vgsr.org or call 703-435-2840 for additional information, or better yet, to sign up to help!

 

Thanks so much for your consideration and we hope to see you on September 20th at Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Course!   Register Today!
