Greetings!
I hope you all will please join me in extending a warm welcome to Mr. Paul Anderson as the new President/CEO of Tee It Up For the Troops.
Paul has been a supporter of TIUFTT since it was originated in 2005 (board member since 2010), and has continued to tell the TIUFTT story when given the opportunity. He will now have that opportunity on a daily basis. Paul is a man of character, with knowledge and relationship capability, who I believe can help take the organization to the next level. He has a heart for the military and their families, leadership/administrative qualities, and most of all the desire to build a stronger foundation for our continued growth and support to those who serve.
Paul is excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. He is busy asking questions, building new relationships, and working on hitting the ground running.
I look forward to assisting Paul with this transition, and offering whatever help I may offer, I hope and pray that you will do the same. The continued outreach to our military personnel and their families who serve and have served this great country continues to be the reason why TIUFTT exists.
Let us continue on that mission together for years to come.
Welcome Paul!
God Bless,
JB

Words from our President/CEO,
Paul T. Anderson
Since 2005, Tee It Up for the Troops has been blessed to raise over $4 million to honor and support the brave men and women serving in all branches of the United States Military, their families, and our Veterans.
In eight years the organization has grown from a simple dream into a nationally recognized charity that has made a difference in lives time and time again.
Sponsors, volunteers and golfers across the country continue to "step up to the tee" to say "THANK YOU!" What an incredible organization for all of us to take great pride.
As we near the end of 2012 we have much to be grateful for at Tee It Up for the Troops.
Most of all we are grateful for you and your support of Tee It Up for the Troops with your time and especially your resources. We understand that you have many great causes to which you can give your money and feel humbled and honored that you have chosen us to make a major impact in so many lives.
In the days ahead I look forward to meeting each one of you and sharing our passion for supporting and honoring our Troops. In the mean time, I would love to hear your story and connection to this great organization. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly as I would love to hear from you.
To our Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Coast Guard, and Airmen, who have served, or are currently serving this country, we love you and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your selfless service and sacrifice on behalf of all of us. We hold you and your families in our thoughts and prayers.
God bless you and may God continue to bless the United States with the brave men and women who have answered the call to protect this nation and our freedom.
As we firmly believe, "Divots can be replaced. FREEDOM cannot."
It is an honor to begin this journey working on behalf of this amazing organization for which I have such a tremendous amount of love and respect. With your continued support we will help honor and support even more of our deserved heroes.
May the wonder of that first Christmas, the joy of God's abundant blessings, and the peace of this holiday season be with you always.
Best regards,
Paul T. Anderson
President/CEO

Are you looking for a unique gift idea?
 Look no further! You can help support Tee it up for the Troops by purchasing tickets for a private concert and catered dinner with Lorie Line. Lorie obtained a B.A. in Music from the University of Nevada, specializing in Piano Performance. Her first full-time performance job was at Dayton's, Minneapolis, in 1988 where she serenaded shoppers. On the shopping floor she would play her own arrangements off the cuff, drawing an immediate audience to her unique "Lorie Line style." Fans would come to the store, not only to shop, but to hear her play and it was from their encouragement that Lorie decided to record her first album. This was the beginning of Lorie Line Music, Inc. Since that time she has released 36 CDs, with sales exceeding 6 million copies. The concert will be held on June 14, 2013 (Flag Day) at Lorie's private residence. We have 12 tickets left for purchase. The cost per ticket is $250. To purchase tickets please contact Kristine Hautman at kristine.hautman@gmail.com or by phone 612.710.5584.  |
 TIUFTT office to be relocated
As many of you know Tee it up for the Troops was established in 2005 by family and friends of a soldier and raised over $80,000 in that inaugural year. In 2012 we will raise just over $1,000,000 bringing the total dollars raised to nearly 5 million.
Tee it up for the Troops is very grateful to all of you for your support of our organization! As indicated above, we have grown and are very thankful for that growth. Growth can create space issues, however, which is what we are facing at our current office location. Thus, to effectively support our mission to honor, respect, remember and support all those who have served in our Armed Forces; and, to efficiently serve all of our sponsors, event hosts, volunteers and donators we are excited to announce the relocation of our office.
We are very grateful that this relocation is being supported by generous donations from the following organizations:
Belzer Chevrolet
Rollx Vans
Ron & Janet Schutz
Tim Hasse
Galaxy Sales
Master Electric
Please note that Tee it up for the Troops continues to be committed to reduced administration costs, ensuring a high percentage of proceeds are distributed to numerous programs that benefit and support the veterans and their families.
Please watch for updates in Newsletters and on Facebook including the launch of our on-line store
(one benefit of more office space)!
Effective, December 17th, the new office address will be:
515 W. Travelers Trail
Burnsville, MN 55337
952-646-2490 |
