The TGC Fund Story

The TGC Fund was established two years ago as a donor-advised fund administered by the Cape Cod Foundation for the purpose of providing support to Cape Cod veterans and active military personnel with significant financial needs. 

In 2011 alone, The TGC Fund distributed over $38,000 of aid to provide $15,000 of food cards (through the Otis Civilian Advisory Council and Base Chaplain), $5,400 to support shipping cost of care packages to servicemen and women overseas, and additional funds to non-profit organizations on behalf of individuals and families.

More specifically, The TGC Fund has provided assistance to:

Female Veteran with four children (two serving overseas in Afghanistan) who,
due to the cost of necessary oral surgery, couldn't repair her car to get to work.

Veteran's widow who, despite assistance from her live-in parents,
couldn't keep up with mortgage payments when her husband's
life insurance ran out and her mother fell seriously ill with cancer.

A disabled Iraq War Veteran who relocated to the Cape from Texas with
two children and is undergoing therapy.

A mentally disabled veteran in need of food, fuel and mortgage assistance.

IN REVIEW
2011 "TGC for the Troops" Tournament and Reception

Thanks to our 2011 Honorary Chairman, Brigadier General Donald J. Quenneville (USAF, retired), participants, sponsors, volunteers and staff, 2011 TGC for the Troops was an immense success! 

The total dollar amount raised was $50,000 ($10,000 greater than 2010): the sellout field of participants and sponsors could not have enjoyed better company, weather, course conditions, or food and drink.

Throughout the year, Cape Cod veterans and active military personnel benefited from
 much-needed assistance through the TGC Fund, a donor advised fund,
ranging from direct grants, grocery gift cards, unforeseen emergency expenses, and
fuel assistance to job training.  

  

Heroes Golf Clinic, June 26, 2011
 


   

  

 

A special "Bogeys to Birdies" Golf Clinic, free to local veterans, was hosted by TGC Director of Golf and PGA Pro Doug Errhalt and personal trainer and golf biomechanics specialist Jeff Handler, assisted by several area golf pros. 

 

"Thank you again for your kindness and hospitality shown not only to
me, but all of the Military members present for both the training clinic and
tournament held at TGC last fall. In all my years of service, I have never
been so grateful to serve after you and your staff opened your facility to
all military members that wonderful couple of days. I rate that experience
at the top of many I have had the opportunity to enjoy."

2010 "TGC for the Troops" Tournament and Reception

Under a stunningly blue October 2010 sky, a full field of participants teed off at The Golf Club of Cape Cod at the TGC Fund's inaugural event to benefit local veterans and families of active servicemen and women. The tournament raised $40,000 through sponsorships from local businesses and participants. 

Prior to play, Colors were presented accompanied by bugler Jay Swain,
a senior at Falmouth High School.
