Military support organizations, LVMAC and HFV, work to improve the lives of local military service members, veterans and their families by providing support and monetary assistance through scholarships, grants and housing programs. In addition, these groups are committed to promoting awareness of the military's role in protecting our country through educational programs, public events and fundraisers.

Jerry Still, president of LVMAC, was overwhelmed by the outpouring of
support. In his remarks, he said, "A big thank you to Jim Petrucci and his team who put on this event. Wow! What a great day for golfers to get out and support our organization. We are so appreciative of those who are willing to go beyond themselves and support our military and veterans through the various programs of the Lehigh Valley Military Affairs Council association - scholarships, efforts which have an impact upon homelessness, academia and healthcare, to name a few. Whether a local active duty military person, or a veteran, LVMAC is here to serve. Our programs need support all year round."

"We greatly appreciate that J.G. Petrucci Company, Inc. has selected our Hope for Veterans Program as a beneficiary of the 2015 Iron Hill Golf Open," said Julia Bey Ahmet, Community Hope Chief Development Officer. "These proceeds will help us rescue as many as 1,000 veterans and veteran families from homelessness and despair in the year ahead, ensuring that those who honorably served our country have a safe warm place to sleep and the support services they need."
