Veterans! This one is for you and it’s to benefit the Honor Flights!

Each branch of the military (Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force) will form platoons of at least 10-12 players. From these platoons, you will form 2 squads of 4 players consisting of 2 women and 2 men. (Spouses are eligible!)

The lineup for each squad will consist of a women’s doubles team, a men’s doubles team, and 2 mixed doubles team.

Who’s In!?!

Villages Honor Flight is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to transporting United States military veterans to Washington DC to see their memorials, at no cost to the veterans. Our current focus is on veterans age 75 and over as well as veterans with a terminal illness. There are no paid employees within Villages Honor Flight, we are all volunteers. Our funding comes primarily from donations and fundraising activities such as this. It costs us $600 per veteran and $100,000 per Mission, so every dollar raised is important and very much appreciated. For more information, visit villageshonorflight.org or Like us on Facebook.

Thank you for supporting Villages Honor Flight.
