Nascar's Mike Skinner hosts event that raises $220K for veterans

Lake Toxaway, NC  -  You'd think that Nascar and golf would go together about much as peanut butter and ketchup...not so much.  But when you take a past Truck Series Champion with a passion for giving back, look out...anything is possible!

Past Champoin of the Nascar Truck Series, Mike Skinner and his wife Angie hosted their 2016 Skinner Round-Up this year at the beautiful Mountain Falls Luxury Motorcoach Resort up in the western North Carolina mountains.  The 2-day event raised over $220,000 for Hope for the Warriors - a non-profit supporting post 9/11 veterans and their families.

The crowd gathers to watch the finalist shoot out for the prize. Not a bad view either!

Mobile Golf Events had the privilege helping raise over $500 through the Mobile 19th Hole - Closest-to-the-Pin contest at the Round-Up event on Thursday.  Then on Friday during the golf outing portion of the event, MGE founder and PGA Pro, Brett Gorney ran a "Play with the Pro" hole that raised an additional $1,100.  Gorney stated, "What an honor it was to be a part of this event!  Mike and Angie along with the Hope for the Warriors team were so much fun to work with!  Handing them over $1,500 in donations to help support their cause was such a blessing!  We can't wait for next year's event!"
