On Friday, July 19, Team Hidalgo/Warner hosted their Seventh Annual Hidalgo/Warner Memorial Golf Outing at Western Lakes Golf Course in Pewaukee, benefiting military members and their families.
With 154 golfers and over 300 event attendees, Team Hidalgo/Warner raised a total of $50,000 to benefit Fisher House Wisconsin, the Daren M. Hidalgo Memorial Fund and Richard D. Warner Memorial Fund. The fundraising event included an 18-hole scramble, banquet dinner, raffle and silent auction.
“This year’s event was our most successful golf outing to date, and I am in awe of our community’s constant support and generosity surrounding this cause,” said Jorge Hidalgo, Wilde East Towne Honda principal partner. “We are honored to host this annual event, not only to remember Daren and Rich, who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country, but also to support those in uniform who currently serve, veterans and military families.”
The families of Army 1st Lt. Daren Hidalgo and Marine Lance Cpl. Richard ‘Rich’ Warner presented Fisher House Wisconsin with a donation check on Aug. 21 for $18,000, representing their contribution from funds raised at the Seventh Annual Hidalgo/Warner Memorial Golf Outing.
“On behalf of Fisher House Wisconsin and the veteran families Team Hidalgo/Warner supports, I extend a heartfelt thanks for the very generous donation and for allowing us to be part of your mission,” said Andrew Roberts, president of Fisher House Wisconsin. “We are humbled and privileged to accept the donation on behalf of Daren and Rich, and will always do our best to honor their memories.”
