What an incredible day at the Bryan's Home Memorial Fundraiser! ⛳️

Hosted by the Veterans Golf Club of Southern Oregon at Bandon Crossings Golf Course, the event was a tremendous success. More than 80 golfers came together for a full 18 holes of golf, fellowship, and support for an amazing cause.
Every dollar raised will go directly to Operation Rebuild Hope and Bryan's Home, helping continue their mission of serving veterans and those in need.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, donated, and helped make this event possible. Your generosity and support are making a real difference.
Together, we're honoring Bryan's legacy and building hope for our veteran community.
