: What happens when an LPGA Tour pro joins our golf outing? An unforgettable day on the course!

Thanks to Volunteers of America’s valued partnership with the LPGA, we were honored to welcome Brittany Lincicome to this year's outing. Brittany led our Beat the Pro challenge, connected with golfers throughout the day, and helped create a truly memorable experience for everyone involved.

Brittany helped create an unforgettable experience for our golfers while supporting VOA Illinois' mission to serve those who need it most. Thank you, Brittany, for spending the day with us and helping make a difference both on and off the course.

To those who joined us on DAF Day and put some of your charitable dollars to work with VOA Illinois: THANK YOU! Here’s one example of where that kind of generosity can lead. A veteran who experienced homelessness, Carol found a path forward through VOA Illinois. Now she works with us, reaching out to other vets in similar situations, helping them find housing, jobs and the same kind of support that once helped him. Carol got help when she needed it. Today, she’s the one helping. We think that says a lot about what your generosity can set in motion. Thank you for being part of it.

Before DAF Day comes to a close, consider this one possibility: turn some of the funds you’ve already set aside into something very real. A home after homelessness.

Give now at https://app.freewill.com/smartgiving/voa/daf/donor?utm_source=partner&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=2023_voa_waystogivepg_pd&_gl=1*lf7wga*_ga*OTQwMjcyMTU1LjE3OTA5NjA0MjE.*_ga_3BP2DDHVMK*czE3OTA5NjA0MjEkbzEkZzAkdDE3OTA5NjA4NjQkajYwJGwwJGgxNzU0NTc2MDk4*_gcl_au*NzY5MzY0OTIzLjE3OTA5NjA4NjQ.

Tomorrow is DAF Day. If you have a donor-advised fund, now's a good opportunity to take a look at it. Because the dollars are already there, just waiting on your decision. Tomorrow, a grant from your DAF could mean a warm bed for someone who hasn't had one in months. Stability for a Veteran rebuilding their life. A family struggling together instead of falling apart. Nothing new to set aside. Just a choice about where it goes. See what your DAF can do https://www.voaillinois.org/daf/
