Warrior Homes of Collier raises nearly $1.2 million at charity golf tournament, Hope and Honor Gala

NAPLES, Fla. - Nov. 22, 2024 - PRLog -- Warrior Homes of Collier, which assists veterans in need with housing, mental health support and access to higher education, raised nearly $1.2 million in donations at its recent charity golf tournament and Hope and Honor Gala.

The record-breaking total included six donations of $100,000 or more at the Nov. 9 gala at the Naples Sailing & Yacht Club. In late October, 230 golfers attended the nonprofit's benefit tournament at LaPlaya Golf Club in Naples. The winning team consisted of Tammy Marin, Judie Kupperman, Kathi Lewis and Marles Lamers.

Warrior Homes of Collier operates four residences for local veterans: Alpha House, a short-term, transitional residence for those in recovery from substance use disorders; Bravo and Charlie Houses, which serve seniors on fixed incomes who receive rent subsidies (known as supportive housing); and Delta House, a supportive housing complex with 10 apartments for up to 20 veterans, both men and women. Residents pay rent on a sliding scale, but never more than 30% of their income.

Beyond providing a roof over their heads, Warrior Homes of Collier also connects veterans with support services, such as mental health counseling and peer support through David Lawrence Centers, as well as educational opportunities, including college scholarships.
