MESSAGE FROM COMMODORE WATSONI am most excited to recognize the continuing partnership between Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services and Mackenzie Tour - PGA TOUR Canada, as we collaborate in presenting the 2016 National Capital Open to Support Our Troops, a week-long celebration of professional golf, entertainment and informative activities, raising funds and highlighting the challenges faced by Canadian Armed Forces serving members, veterans and their families.

As the beneficiary of this event, the Support Our Troops Program provides a myriad of support and services through its two principal funds: The Military Families Fund and the Soldier On Fund. The former, meets the often unique and varied needs of military families, accruing from the conditions of service, but not addressed by existing public support policies, whereas the latter seeks to help members reintegrate into society following career and life-changing illness or injury, through personal development activities and opportunities.

Corporate Canada, community organizations and individual Canadians can join in contributing to the Support Our Troops Program through sponsorship, participation and/or attendance at the National Capital Open to Support Our Troops, August 15th through the 21st at Hylands Golf Club, adjacent to Ottawa International Airport. I look forward to seeing you there!

Yours Aye,

Commodore Mark B. WatsonDirector General Morale and Welfare Services

The Support Our Troops Program is an internal charitable foundation that was established to meet the needs of the Canadian Armed Forces Community, with particular emphasis on the unique and special challenges that members, veterans and their families face, either directly or indirectly, as a result of military service.

The Support Our Troops Program is funded completely through donations from individual Canadians and Corporate Canada, contributions from external organizations and proceeds from internal and third party events and from the sale of Yellow Ribbon merchandise.

The Yellow Ribbon is a highly visible symbol of the support of Canada and Canadians for the Canadian Armed Forces. Trade-mark protection was introduced for the Yellow Ribbon in 2006. Since 2009, the Support Our Troops Program has developed programs, activities and events, such as the National Capital Open to Support Our Troops, which provide a diverse range of support, aid and services to current and former military members and their families.

The inaugural National Capital Open to Support Our Troops, held in 2015, generated $75K for the Support Our Troops Program. These funds were directed to the purchase of Hi-Low beds for veterans that are residents of the Perley Rideau Veterans Health Centre, in Ottawa. Equally importantly, the event:

• Attracted more than 3,000 spectators; • Included the participation of 50 Pro-Am teams; • Was supported by 300 volunteers; and • Hosted 156 young professional golfers vying for a spot on the Web.Com Tour.

Across the country, Mackenzie Tour-PGA TOUR Canada events generated almost $600K in 2015 for local charitable activities and programs.

The financial objective for the 2016 National Capital Open to Support Our Troops is to donate $100K to support veteran homelessness programs.
