Luke grew up in Greenville and graduated in 2005 from Greenville High School. Prior to enlisting he spent one year at NY’s State University College at Albany.

While serving our Country, Luke sustained injuries that forced the amputation of his right leg below the knee and fractures of his left leg, ankle, and foot. Currently, he is recovering at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland.
 
As local business owners, friends of Luke’s family, and citizens of the United States we have come together to sponsor a 4-day golf event to benefit Luke and assist in his recovery. It is our way of showing appreciation for the sacrifice Luke is enduring.

Together, we are extending a personal invitation to you to join us by participating in Golf For Luke at Rainbow Golf Club in Greenville, NY between July 30th and August 2nd.

You can be a part of Luke’s recovery by playing, sponsoring, and/or donating.

You can sign-up and register to play on this site and then enjoy a day's golfing in the foothills of the beautiful Northern Catskills.

Players may enter more than once; tee times must be scheduled in advance by calling Rainbow Golf Cub at (518) 966-5343 or emailing Cookie@RainbowGolfClub.com.

To be a tee sponsor, please complete the form here or email Jim@GolfForLuke.ORG

Sincerely yours,

Jim Van Auken, Roger Hannay & Walter Birmann
