Held at Crimson Ridge, Red Friday Golf Tournament in July raises funds to help veterans with a variety of medical, mental health and financial needs

Teams of four interested in hitting the links for a good cause are invited to register for the 14th annual Red Friday Golf Tournament to be held at Crimson Ridge Golf Course Friday, July 19.“We remember every deployed soldier, veterans and their families in this area that need help,” said Frank Iezzi, Red Friday Golf Tournament organizer in an interview with SooToday.

Iezzi said the Algoma Veterans Association - through fundraising - pays for services veterans need such as stress-relieving massage therapy sessions and hearing tests.While acknowledging the shortage in primary care providers, Iezzi said he would like to see veterans’ needs taken care of one day a week by a family doctor or nurse practitioner.

Iezzi would like to see the Algoma Veterans Association be able to establish a getaway for modern day veterans through raising funds to buy an existing cottage or build new on a parcel of land. “I’ve had depression, anxiety, a wide range of physical injuries from the military,” Iezzi told SooToday in a 2018 interview, though he emphasized he receives a lot of support from his wife and family.

“We have people from a wide variety of military backgrounds who have done different jobs in the military,” Iezzi said.
