Celebrating the Completion of Vets Whole In One's First Year!

Vets Whole In One - 2018 Summary


Gained 501(c)3 Status

Hosted 11 Golf and Mindfulness Clinics

Hosted 4 Golf Tournaments

Hosted a Trip To play Ojai Valley Inn Country Club


Vets Whole In One has worked with hundreds of Veterans, teaching them mindfulness meditation skills and golf. We were able to bring together and empower veterans who are working through isolation, depression, and PTSD.  

We started 2018 by finalizing our 501(c)3 status, and were able to raise enough in contributions to operate the organization throughout the year. Vets Whole In One is made up of veterans, and non veterans, all of whom are 100% volunteers.  All contributions have been utilized directly to run mindfulness meditation group sessions, along with our golf clinics and tournaments. Funding has been allocated for green fees and driving range fees, as well as for meals, and transportation.

Vets Whole in One goal is to grow the number of hosted events from 16 to 25 events in 2019. With your continued support we are also planning to expand our clinics and tournaments to San Diego. We have initiated potential sponsorships and strategic partnerships with key golf industry companies, as well as other like minded non profit organizations.  

Thank you again for all your support! With your love and contributions this has been an incredibly successful first year. Our inaugural year has been one in which many veterans were made to feel at ease, laugh, and be with their new golf and mindfulness brothers and sisters. Equally as important to building comradery, Vets Whole In One is teaching mindfulness meditation skills to help veterans manage the pressure and stress in returning to civilian life.
