Freedom Dogs Golf Tournament

A trauma surgeon at Palomar Medical Center , Dr . John Steele has been involved with Freedom Dogs since its inception in 2006 . “ Every year , as soon as registration opens , I am the first to sign up !” says Dr . Steele , speaking of Freedom Dogs ’ annual fundraising Golf Tournament , now in its 10th year . “ There are a lot of charities out there to choose from , but I cannot think of one where you are so close to the source . You can really see where your money is going . I have already put three foursomes together and I will probably bring more ,” Dr . Steele exclaimed . I pay for their entry , and in return I ask these friends to be generous when they are at the event .” Steele ’ s invitation turns out to be a great recruiting technique : “ The cause has resonated with every one of my guests !”
