Tucson, Ariz. -- Skyline Country Club has once again joined the Wounded Warrior Project to host the third annual charity golf tournament, Tee It Up for the Troops. This year, an exciting addition allows tennis players to also get involved in the action - Serve It Up for the Troops. The event takes place Saturday, November 8, beginning at 7 a.m.

All proceeds from the golf and tennis tournaments will directly benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, the Fischer House and the Air Force Foundation Tucson Community Cares Program.

For the golf tournament, golf foursomes will be partnered with Davis Monthan Air Force Base personnel and Arizona Air National Guard Task Force Desert Hawk troops for a modified five-person scramble game. The cost is $150 per person for breakfast, lunch and golf. In honor of our armed forces, all Davis Monthan Air Force personnel participating play and dine at no cost. The Tee It Up & Serve It Up events are open to the public!

The first annual tennis event, Serve It Up for the Troops, will complement golfing. The format is a mixed doubles tournament with teams consisting of one military and one non-military participant. The team winning the most games wins the tournament!

In 2007, the charity golf tournament raised $35,984; however, an anonymous donor matched those funds, bringing the grand total donated to charity to $71,978. Last year's event was an incredible success now with the tennis component, this year will be even better!

To kick off the event, Skyline Country Club will host a breakfast beginning at 7 a.m. The Opening Ceremony will follow at 8 a.m. with a full Military Honor Guard to post colors at the driving range. Golf and tennis will start at 8:30 a.m., with a delicious lunch beginning at 1 p.m. A raffle will also be held during lunch. All proceeds will be directed to local Armed Forces families to help support the fallen and disabled close to them.
