Summit Place Kia and Auto Credit Express Host 5th Annual Charity Golf Outing to Support Veterans

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., April 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Summit Place Kia of Waterford and Mt. Clemens and Auto Credit Express of Auburn Hills are pleased to support our veterans through a golf outing open to the public to be held on July 19, 2015. The 5^th Annual LaLonde Charity Open will be at the Golf Course at Pine Knob and proceeds will go to the Friends of the Veterans Treatment Court.

As a result of their service to this country, service men and women often develop physical injury, mental health, or alcohol/substance abuse issues that result in their involvement in the Macomb County or 51st District (Waterford) Veterans Treatment Courts.  These courts seek to address the underlying issues that brought the veteran into the court system, and guide these men and women back on track to a healthy and productive life.

100% of the net proceeds from the LaLonde Charity Open are given to the non-profit organizations that support the veterans participating in these courts.  In conjunction with the Veterans Administration, the Friends of the Macomb County Veterans Treatment Court and Friends of the North Oakland County Veterans Treatment Court use the proceeds to assist veterans with mental health treatment, alcohol/substance abuse treatment, transportation, food, housing, and counseling. Proceeds also go towards veteran-mentor involvement, so each participant involved in these courts may stay on the path towards becoming and remaining law-abiding citizens.

In 2014, the LaLonde Charity Open and related fundraising efforts raised $90,779 to help United States veterans. For information on how to participate or contribute to this worthy cause, visit www.LaLondeCharityOpen.com.
