National Veterans TEE Tournament
SEPTEMBER 8-12, 2008
Iowa City, Iowa
The TEE Tournament is hosted annually by the Iowa City VA Medical Center with support from more than 250 VA and community volunteers.
The National Veterans TEE Tournament came to life as the brainchild of several employees of the Iowa City D epartment of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center and two visually impaired veterans from Iowa who were attending the 1993 National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic. This tournament is to provide legally blind and eligible disabled veterans an opportunity to develop new skills and strengthen their self esteem through adaptive golf and bowling events. Each year, the TEE Tournament uses a therapeutic format to promote rehabilitation, fellowship and camaraderie among participants.
Participation is open to male and female military veterans who are legally blind or have orthopedic amputations, use wheelchairs for mobility, or who have been through the GIVE (Golf for Injured Veterans Everywhere) Program. Participants must register and complete the necessary forms to participate in the games.
All participants and their companions MUST SUBMIT A COMPLETED REGISTRATION FORM. The applications must be complete and include all fees to be considered. There is a $75 registration fee per veteran participant. Please make check or money order payable to Iowa City VAMC/TEE Tournament. DO NOT SEND CASH. If you need additional information or have questions, please contact Kirt Sickels, VA Medical Center, 601 Highway 6 West, Iowa City at (319) 339-7104 or (319) 338-2618.
