Golf Tournament Raises Over $145,000 for Troops' Families, Underwritten by Local Law Firm
LOS ANGELES, November 20, 2007 - USA Cares, a nationwide assistance organization serving military service members and their families, held a very successful fundraising golf tournament on November 12, at the MountainGate Country Club in Los Angeles. Over $145,000 was raised. Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi L.L.P., a national law firm, hosted and fully underwrote the tournament.
Patrick Shipstead, partner at Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi L.L.P. and the father of an Air Force pilot, states, "We couldn't be more pleased with the response to the tournament. It is so important that we support America's sons and daughters who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere at the behest of our government. They, and their families, must bear a disproportionate burden and USA Cares is a great organization to help them." Shipstead, who is a member of USA Cares' Board of Directors also commented that based upon past results, the money raised will aid hundreds of additional military families.
