SmithAmundsen Sponsors Bunkers in Baghdad Charity Event

Chicago, IL, April 6, 2010 – SmithAmundsen is proud to support Bunkers in Baghdad and will sponsor a Happy Hour Charity Event on Friday, April 30, 2010 at The Gage, 24 South Michigan, Chicago. The happy hour will feature a silent auction of a number of items including sporting event tickets, catering services, and greens fees at area golf clubs.

Bunkers in Baghdad is a not-for-profit charity that collects and sends new and used golf balls, clubs, and equipment to troops currently serving in combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bunkers also supplies golf equipment to Wounded Warriors Programs around the country to aid in the rehabilitation of our injured veterans. Since November of 2008, the organization has shipped and distributed over one million golf balls and 25,000 clubs to Iraq and Afghanistan and to wounded warrior programs across the country. The proceeds derived from the April 30th Happy Hour will largely go to the cost of shipping donations to our troops abroad.

Bunkers in Baghdad is run 100% on donations – from the equipment that is generously donated to the funds required to pay for shipping to our troops. We welcome individuals and organizations that would like to join as fundraising partners. For more information, please visit www.bunkersinbaghdad.com.
