CCVC's Reoccuring Events

The Veterans Council conducts several public patriotic ceremonies throughout the year. They include Memorial Day, Indedpendence Day parade, Veterans Day, and Flag Day(June 14). Council members staff these events by organizing speakers, setting up venues, speaking to crowds, and performing patriotic rituals.

In addition, we gather to support funerals of veterans in Lee and Collier Counties. We also volunteer to staff veteran-related fund raisers and special events. Our monthly meetings provide a friendly forum where veteran groups can make public announcements, network, and support each other with information. They are given a platform to announce their upcoming events, recent successes, and invite veterans to support their cause.

PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is the flagship military program of PGA REACH, the charitable foundation of the PGA of America. PGA HOPE introduces golf to Veterans with disabilities to enhance their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being.

The program introduces the game of golf through a developmental 6-8 week curriculum, taught by PGA Professionals trained in adaptive golf and military cultural competency. All programs are funded by PGA REACH and supplemented by PGA Section Foundations, so the cost of programming is free to all Veterans.

To register for these instructional golf lessons, contact Michelle Goda at mogda@pgahq.com or call 561.537.5809

They are scheduled for Wednesdays from 3:30pm to 5:30pm from March 18th through April 22d.
