New York, NY – On September 26, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) and more than 100 cannabis entrepreneurs and industry professionals will come together to cultivate worthwhile professional relationships within the industry, network and learn about the veteran community all while participating in the first-ever Fore20 Golf Classic Tournament presented by Vantage Builders. 

Vantage Builders has committed all event proceeds to IAVA. 

“As IAVA continues its important advocacy work for the veteran community in the alternative therapies space, it is incredible to see leaders in the cannabis space come together in support of those efforts,” said Jeremy Butler, CEO of IAVA. “IAVA is thankful for the support of Vantage Builders and we look forward to continuing this great partnership into the future.”

“Vantage Builders is thrilled to have the opportunity to connect with and support Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) through our Fore20 Golf Classic,” said Ed Silva, Principal for Vantage Builders. “The goal of this tournament has been to bring Vantage Builders’ network – valued cannabis clients, sub-contractors, and vendors together for a worthy cause – and it’s exciting to see it come to fruition. We’re hopeful that our contribution will allow IAVA to continue their important work, and we can’t wait to host the tournament again next year.”

IAVA is extremely grateful for the leadership and support of Vantage Builders and we look forward to more opportunities to work together and bring awareness and support to the veteran community.
