The Texas South Plains Honor Flight will fly U.S. military veterans, particularly those from World War II and Korea, to Washington, D.C., this fall in order for them to see their monuments and honor them for their service.
All proceeds from the tournament will help defray costs for this year’s fourth annual all expenses-paid
trip for the veterans.
The organization’s volunteers work year round to raise over $220,000 that is needed to
underwrite the event.
