Has Another Record Year

The strong support for
our veterans was on full
display in April when a full
field of golfers participated
in the Ibis Friends of
Veterans (IFOV) annual golf

raised over $200,000 to
help support and provide
services to our Palm Beach

proceeds from this year’s
event, IFOV has raised more
than $1,200,000 for our
veterans.
