ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - Oct 12, 2011) - Donating services for the benefit of America's Wounded Warriors, the Courtyard Atlanta Airport West was among supporters of the second annual CSX Heroes Charity Golf Tournament which recently raised more than $13,000 in support of the Wounded Warrior Project Foundation (WWP).
A comfortable and convenient new choice among Atlanta Hotels near the Airport, the Courtyard cordially donated a weekend stay for two with breakfast to the silent auction held in conjunction with the tournament. This year's fund-raising efforts topped those of the 2010 inaugural tournament which netted $12,000 thanks to the generous support of local individual and business sponsors, like the Courtyard Atlanta Airport West hotel, who maintain a commitment to community service.
Recognizing the importance of supporting such projects, the Courtyard's Director of Sales Leslie James helped out with the tournament, serving as a hostess during the event, providing refreshments to the more than 90 participating players.
"Contributing to the needs of our soldiers and their families is an honor," said Mrs. James in reflecting on the event and its purpose. "Assisting our returning soldiers back to civilian life just makes sense and we're proud to support them."
This Hartsfield Jackson Airport hotel's support of the WWP will help the Foundation assist the many troops who have been recently wounded and are suffering from major injuries including traumatic brain injuries, severe burns and amputations. With its mission to honor and empower wounded warriors, the WWP provides direct support and services to help the soldiers and their families during the recovery process.
