On Friday, May 2, 2025, the Pacific Northwest PGA HOPE program hosted its inaugural “We Got Your 6” Fundraising Scramble at Meadow Park Golf Course in Tacoma, Washington <https://links-1.govdelivery.
com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fpnwpga.com%2F2025%2Fpnw-pga-we-got-your-6-scramble-results%2F/2/0100019be6f888d7-6cb1fd2a-3815-4a15-ac33-e856f9b5e31b-000000/cfD7zztemW2weZu-YWoniUAxdQednio00j-gIBaj3qo=441>
. Sponsored by Humana and Freedom Financial, the event brought together the golf community to support local Veterans through the power of the game.
The tournament featured 16 teams and a total of 63 golfers. Thanks to the enthusiasm and generosity of participants and sponsors, the event raised $11,400 to benefit PGA HOPE clinics
throughout the Pacific Northwest Section.
One of the most powerful moments of the day came from PGA HOPE Ambassador Jeanie Butler, who played alongside Veteran Kevin Wilson. Due to injuries sustained during his service in Iraq,
Kevin lost his sight—but through strength, perseverance, and the support of his coach and guide dog, he continues to play golf.
“I had the honor of golfing with a fellow veteran who sacrificed so much more than I did for this country,” said Jeanie. “With his coach and guide dog by his side, he crushed it on the
fairways and made some beautiful putts. He’s such an inspiration and exactly what PGA HOPE is about.”
PGA HOPE Ambassador Jeff Bojanowski also shared emotional remarks during the event.
“I never would have imagined the support the community has for the military community until I got involved with PGA HOPE,” he said. “Seeing all of you here brings a tear to my eye and
fills my heart with joy.”
Congratulations to the winning team of Joel Skarbo, Tony Wilkins, Edward Lyon, and Jacob Clay!
The success of the event wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible generosity of our golf community. Thank you to all the golf facilities that donated rounds of golf for our
auction, the PGA Professionals who contributed lessons, and our vendors for providing fantastic raffle items. 100% of these donations went directly to support future PGA HOPE programs

Disabled Veterans Golf History in VA Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 20
The American Lake Veterans Golf Course <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.veterangolf.org%2F/1/0100019be6f888d7-6cb1fd2a-3815-4a15-ac33-e856f9b5e31b-000000/a8uujWKqLWjSmg1r2t6H9fMV0
XnNnAJtq7urtbzzD74=441> , spanning 377 acres, was established in 1956 following World War II. The course was designed as a nine-hole place of respite on the VA hospital near Joint Base
Lewis-McChord. Its mission is to offer essential rehabilitation and recreational opportunities for Veterans, many of whom suffer from severe disabilities. In 1995, funding for the operation
and maintenance of all VA golf courses was discontinued. Nevertheless, this course continued to operate through a volunteer program. After falling into disrepair, the course faced potential
abandonment. In 2014, Jack Nicklaus designed the new back nine holes and concurrently redesigned the existing front nine holes. Nicklaus’ work is the centerpiece of the $4.5 million
project at American Lake called “A Course in Courage: Healing America’s Veterans through Golf.”
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USVHAVISN20/2024/01/8906235/5226702/americanlakedav_crop.jpg>
The renovated front nine reopened in 2022, making it an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course. With an unparalleled record of producing the most championship golf courses, Nicklaus
Design is synonymous with world-class course design <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fnicklausdesign.com%2Fabout%2Four-awards%2F/1/0100019be6f888d7-6cb1fd2a-3815-4a15-ac33-e856f9b5e31

much for our country. The American Lake Veterans Golf Course <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.veterangolf.org%2F/2/0100019be6f888d7-6cb1fd2a-3815-4a15-ac33-e856f9b5e31b-000000/6a

ever to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Congressional Gold Medal, and the Lincoln Medal.

together complementary research, education, and clinical programs from VA Puget Sound (VAPSHCS) and the VA Portland Health Care System (VAPORHCS). The collaborative approach to mental
health research, education and treatment has had a profound impact on the lives of Veterans.

to improve the quality of life and function of Veterans by developing, evaluating, and promoting the implementation of effective treatments for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
and its complex comorbidities. PTSD comorbidities include the behavioral consequences of repetitive blast mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), Substance Use Disorder (SUD), chronic pain
(in particular, post-concussive headaches), cognitive impairment, and increased risk for neurodegenerative disorders (chronic traumatic encephalopathy [CTE] and Alzheimer’s disease
[AD]). VA MIRECC's provide for the improvement of the provision of health-care services and related counseling services to eligible veterans suffering from mental illness (especially
mental illness related to service-related conditions) through—
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USVHAVISN20/2025/02/11017678/woundedwarrior-mtrainier_original.png>
* the conduct of research (including research on improving mental health service facilities of the Department and on improving the delivery of mental health services by the Department);
* the education and training of health care personnel of the Department; and
* the development of improved models and systems for the furnishing of mental health services by the Department.
As part of the VISN 20 NW MIRECC mission to enhance access to mental health expertise, the NW MIRECC collaborates and consults with other MIRECCs and Centers of Excellence, as well as
with other VA, Department of Defense (DoD), Federal, State departments of Veterans Affairs, community agencies, and experts. The close geographic proximity (40 miles) of DoD Joint Base
Lewis-McChord/Madigan Army Medical Center to VAPSHCS has provided an exciting opportunity to develop innovative and productive research, education, and clinical care collaborations
with DoD personnel that address PTSD and its associated conditions in their early stages in active-duty Servicemembers.
VA ranks as one of the nation's leaders in health research. Every year, thousands of research studies are conducted at VA medical centers, outpatient clinics, and nursing homes. For
example, the VA has:

NW MIRECC research studies significantly contribute to advancements in our understanding of medical problems that lead to health improvements for Veterans and civilians alike. Research
