WealthVest Sponsors Local Veteran Outreach Golf Tournament

For the second year in a row, employees at WealthVest took part in the annual Veterans Outreach Golf Tournament in Bozeman this August to raise funds for the Vietnam Veterans of America Southwest Montana Chapter 788.

This year’s fundraising event will assist the Chapter in sending Vietnam veterans to the 40th Anniversary of the Vietnam Memorial Wall celebration in Washington, D.C. this Veteran’s Day. A platinum sponsor of the event, WealthVest’s employees joined dozens of other teams and business from across the Gallatin Valley and Southwest Montana.

“It was a privilege representing WelathVest and supporting a banner organization that supports not only veterans but also our local community,” said Bethany Judd, WealthVest team captain and a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. “We had a fantastic time and can’t wait to get out their again next year.”

During the scramble-style tournament, the teams were able to purchase magic putts, mulligans, and tee shots, which were taken for them by student-athletes on the Montana State University golf team to help raise additional funds for the Chapter and improve their overall score. WealthVest tallied a score of 59 points, with the winner of the tournament shooting 10 fewer strokes.

“WealthVest is extremely fortunate,” said Wade Dokken, WealthVest Cofounder and president. “Our leadership team benefits from the skills experience of multiple United States military veterans. We are honored to support charities that recognize the service of all veterans-especailly our own.”

Celebrations for the anniversary of the Vietnam Memorial Wall will be held at both the Wall and the Arlington National Cemetery on November 11, and a Color Guard will be presented from every state.
