“Putting for Patriots” Event
to be held Mid-May through Memorial Day Weekend

The Sixth Annual “Putting for Patriots” fundraiser will be held at 33 Pirate’s Cove, Pirate’s Island and Jungle Golf miniature golf courses throughout the United States between Friday, May 11 and Monday, May 28, 2012. 

This May event will culminate on Memorial Day weekend and support three charities, which serve our wounded, their families and survivors of the fallen.  These organizations include: “Hope For The Warriors”, “Homes for Our Troops” and “TAPS—Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors.”  Pirate’s Cove, Jungle Golf and Pirate’s Island will donate a percentage of their total sales on Saturday, May 26 and Sunday, May 27.  In addition, from May 13 through May 30, each golf course will sell hole sponsorships and accept donations to be turned over to the three charities.  Since its inception, this event has raised over $93,000.

“Memorial Day was specifically founded to remember those who died serving our nation,” notes Brad Graft, Pirate’s Cove Partner and Regional Director.  “The Pirate’s Cove / Pirate’s Island family thought it appropriate to establish an annual event to serve charities that assist our living veterans and the survivors of fallen military members.  These are men and women who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.”

Pirate’s Cove and Pirate’s Island operate 33 miniature golf courses throughout the United States.  For more information, visit their Web sites at www.piratescove.com, www.piratesislandgolf.com, and www.junglegolfminigolf.com .  Additional information on the above charities can be found by accessing their Web sites:  www.hopeforthewarriors.org, www.homesforourtroops.org and www.taps.org.  To become a participating Putting for Patriots golf course, see the Putting for Patriots tab on the home page of the Pirate’s Cove Web site: www.piratescove.com.
