The Bunkers in Baghdad Board
A few words from Joe Hanna, President and Founder of Bunkers in Baghdad, explaining the story of how we got here:
The purpose of Bunkers in Baghdad is simple – we collect new and used golf balls and golf clubs and then ship them overseas to soldiers stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have reached out to many national golf corporations, golfers on both the LPGA and PGA tours, national golf associations, golf course from around the country, including many from right here in Western New York, local and national golf retailers, local school districts and individuals, to help further our Bunkers mission. The response has simply been overwhelming.
The Bunkers program also includes injured veterans who are currently recovering in Wounded Warriors programs and other military installations and VA hospitals across the United States. We provide equipment to help with their rehabilitation and as a form of recreation. Also, as you can imagine, the families of wounded troops at spend day and night with their injured loved ones and because of this, many medical centers have set up therapy programs for the families which we will also contribute to.
Bunkers in Baghdad is run 100% on donations – from the equipment that is generously donated to the funds required to pay for shipping to our troops. We plan on holding several fundraisers throughout the year to raise money to help cover shipping and packaging costs so we can keep sending equipment out. We welcome individuals and organizations that would like to join with us as fundraising partners to help us in our mission.
