Chantilly, VA – The USA Warriors Charity Golf Tournament, held at Chantilly National Golf and Country Club, brought together 88 enthusiastic golfers to support veterans and raised over $8,000 for this worthy cause, despite inclement weather that halted play after just nine holes.

We are incredibly grateful to all who participated and sponsored this event,” said Jeff Woods, President. “The funds raised will go directly towards initiatives that help improve the lives of veterans in our community.”
While the tournament was cut short, the laughter and stories shared on the course highlighted the unity and support that defined the day.
The USA Warriors remain committed to assisting our veterans and look forward to next year’s tournament, where we hope to continue this exciting tradition of community support.
Carolina Boxing Hall of Fame honors USA Warrior Mark Stoessel
Mark Stossel is one a member of the USA Warriors Standing Team – and an accomplished Ice Hockey Referee. In fact, if you have been playing ice hockey for any length of time in the DC, Virginia and Maryland area, you have probably had Mark as a referee. But that’s not all. Mark is not just a Hockey Player, referee, great teammate, and all around good guy.
When Mark served in the Army, he was on the Army boxing team and a Golden Gloves Boxer! That's right, don't let that smile fool you, he knows how to throw a punch! Luckily, he has managed to keep his boxing away from the ice! During his time in the Carolinas, Mark was involved in all aspects of boxing, including fighting, training, and even being the "Cut Man"!!!!
The USA Warriors family has just been informed that our own Mark Stossel has just been given the Great Honor of being inducted to the Carolina's "HALL OF FAME" for all that he has contributed to the sport of Boxing in North and South Carolina!!!! His induction ceremony will be held in Charleston, South Carolina on Friday, April 6th.
Now we all of us can say we play with a legit Hall of Famer! So if he is refereeing any of your games, don't make the mistake of giving him any lip!!
Please take a moment to reach out to Mark and congratulate him on this fantastic news and great Honor!!!!
