Matthew Axelson Foundation Golf Tournament
Genoa Lakes Golf Club
Sunday, June 26th | 8am-7pm
Who is Matthew Axelson? Matthew “Axe” Axelson was a United States Navy SEAL who was killed in the War in Afghanistan. He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross, the highest award the Navy can give, for his actions during Operation Red Wings, in which he was killed. His story and that of his teammates is told in the book and movie Lone Survivor. This tournament is a wonderful way to interact with our military players (active duty & retired) and show them how much we appreciate their service. A Special Forces operator will play with your foursome when you sponsor a military golfer. The money we raise each year goes to various military organizations.
