The Tee Up Fore Veterans event is a cherished community tradition that unites local businesses, golf lovers, and generous donors, all working towards a common goal: supporting our veterans. This year's event was particularly special as it honored WWII Veteran Ralph "Goldie" Goldsticker, who passed away just a week before the golf outing. His legacy and dedication to our nation were fondly remembered throughout the day. Revity Credit Union generously donated $20,000 to cover the outing expenses, ensuring that all proceeds could directly support the Greater St. Louis Honor Flight. An impressive $21,595 was raised through a combination of sponsorships, raffles, and participation by golf teams.
