Crawford Classic Softball Tournament

The Crawford Classic softball tournament was held at Kalispell Parks and Rec’s Conrad Complex on Woodland Park Dr. on the weekend of June 18th and 19th.  To honor and memorialize Bobby Crawford, the Crawford Classic Memorial, a charitable softball tournament, started in 2019. Bobby passed away in a work-related accident while in North Dakota.  Each year the tournament proceeds are donated to a not for profit in his name, as a way to remember and honor him.  Bobby was an avid softball player and outdoors man.

I was contacted last November by the tournament organizers who wanted to let us know that Montana Wounded Warriors would be the beneficiaries of the funds raised at this year’s tournament.  They told me our organization exemplifies who Bobby was and this continued his support for our nation’s military and their veterans.   After talking to Neiman Wilson, one of the organizers of the event, I was hopeful that this would help Montana Wounded Warriors continue to fund our mission of taking disabled Montana Veterans who served in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan on all expense paid hunting and fishing trips.  I can tell you I was extremely impressed with how successful their first fundraiser on our behalf turned out.

Their crew, Alli Cox, Carolyn and Mike McLean, Katy Park, and Neiman Wilson, inspired by their love of softball, have made the tournament bigger and better each year.  With awesome work and dedication to support our disabled Montana Veterans they helped raise $10,000 for Montana Wounded Warriors. The Board of MTWW  would like to thank everyone who supported the tournament in any way for all the hard work and generosity and the organizers of the Crawford Classic would love to see you all there again  next year!

9th Annual Cast and Blast 2019

The Flathead Valley Clay Target Club once again had a “fun”draiser fort Montana Wounded Warriors. We would like to thank everyone for continuing to welcome our vets and their families every year. This year we had several vets come up to shoot trap and go fishing on Flathead Lake. As always, everyone had a great time and we would just like to thank the club for their continued support. It is awesome to have an organization like the Clay Target Club who really shows their appreciation to all our wounded vets. A big thank you to Mike Howe of A-Able and Mo Fisch Charters as well for once again giving our vets a fun day on the Flathead Lake.

Trout Creek Fundraiser

Montana Wounded Warriors would like to thank  Steve Anderson and the Wayside Bar in Trout Creek, MT.  They held a great golf scramble at the Riverbend Golf Course in Thompson Falls. After golfing there was a prime rib dinner at The Wayside Inn in Trout Creek and an auction, which combined with the golf outing,  raised $2,150 plus an additional $400 donation from Mosher Transportation of Thompson Falls.  The scramble and auction were held on July 21, 2018.  We would like to thank all the golfers and those that attended the dinner for their generosity.  Thanks again!
