For several years now I've been telling you about California's annual Orange County Supports Our Troops (OCSOT) Charity Golf Tournament that raises money to support injured and critically ill service members throughout the Southern California area via the Semper Fi Fund. Well, it's that time again! The 6th annual tournament will be held Monday, November 13, 2017 at the Coto De Caza Golf & Racquet Club. If you will be in the area you can register to play here. If you can't be there but would like to support this worthy cause, you can make a donation here. You will also find sponsorship and advertising opportunities on the OCSOT website. OCSOT is a registered 501(c)3 charity.

I first learned about this event from Brandon Abbey (the former President at Escrow.com who is now 

Director, Strategic Accounts at Payoneer Escrow), who has played a key role in staging the annual tournament that has raised well over $1 million.

Abbey told us, "This lively and inspiring day includes golf, hearty refreshments and inspiring guest speakers with silent and live auctions in a gorgeous country club setting. The Semper Fi Fund provides immediate assistance and continuous support for the injured heroes who have served our country in all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. The primary goal is to give back to those who selflessly support, protect and serve our country." Prior to last year's event Abbey noted, "Since 2004, the Semper Fi Fund has issued over 44,000 grants totaling more than $63 million to 8,000 heroes and their families."
