“The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund was the recipient of $75,000 in the ‘Chipping For Charity’ event on Monday, June 28, when PGA Pro Briny Baird (center, hat) and US Veteran Don Vickery (baseball cap) hit a series of golf balls off the rooftop of New York City’s Waterside Plaza onto a target floating in the East River. Briny and Don hit a series of bull’s-eyes from 400 feet in the sky – a near impossible shot in strong headwinds – to raise the money from wounded warrior supporter P.F. Chang’s restaurants. Pictured, on the Intrepid Flight Deck is Lisa Yaconiello, accepting the check on behalf of the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund from Briny and Don.”
