J.H. Cohn 19th Annual Charity Golf Tournament Raises $75,000 for Special Ops Warrior Foundation

(I-Newswire) June 25, 2010 - TAMPA, FL -- J. H. Cohn, one of the country’s largest accounting firms, held its 19th Annual Charity Golf Invitational, June 21, benefiting the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
Held at the nationally ranked championship Hollywood Golf Club in Deal, New Jersey, this year’s tournament raised $75,000 for the SOWF.
The outing, which consisted of 92 golfers, was presented in part by Capital One. The memorable day included an exciting closest-to-the pin shoot-off for a $10,000 prize.
During the past four years, J. H. Cohn and Cohn for Kids has donated $350,000 to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation in support of its programs that support the families of fallen or wounded special operations troops.
The SOWF provides college educations to the surviving children of fallen Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps special operations personnel. There are currently 135 students enrolled in colleges and universities across the country, and another 500 students who have yet to reach college age. Last year, the SOWF provided $2.7 million in college scholarship grants, financial aid, and counseling.
“All of us at the Special Operations Warrior Foundation are deeply appreciative of the support and generosity of J. H. Cohn,” said John T. Carney, Jr., SOWF President. “We are fortunate to have the steadfast support of great organizations like J. H. Cohn who agree that the least we can do is to make sure the sacrifices of our special operations warriors is never forgotten.”
The SOWF also provides immediate financial assistance to the families of severely wounded special operations personnel.
“For our severely wounded and injured special operations personnel, knowing their loved ones can travel to be by their bedside without financial burden is great relief,” said Carney.
