Lives are saved and transformed every day through the gift of recovery. Unfortunately, some heroes don’t have the financial means to access this essential treatment. The Lou Bantle Scholarship Fund exists to make sure veterans and active service members can receive the care they have earned.
Through Ashley's Golf Marathon, we have the chance to step up for those who once stepped up for us. On April 8, 2026, I’ll be playing 100 holes of golf in one day with one mission:
🎯 Raise $5,000 to help provide life-changing treatment.
My name is Jim Braccille. I’m a small business owner and youth sports coach here in Harford County, blessed with an incredible wife, Andrea, and three kids — Charli, Lyla, and James. When Alex asked if I would be willing to sponsor this cause, I didn’t hesitate.
At work, on the field, and on the court, I’m always preaching the same thing: teamwork makes us great. There is no greater team than our military. For 250 years, service members have stood shoulder to shoulder to protect our freedoms. And sometimes, even the strongest teams need an assist.
What Ashley Addiction Treatment is doing through the Lou Bantle Scholarship Fund is exactly that. This is our moment to return the favor.
Your pledge is more than a donation — it’s hope, healing, and a path forward for someone who served us all.
It’s going to be a long day. Fatigue will set in, swings will fall apart, and the scorecard might get ugly. But if we can finish all 100 holes before sundown and reach that $5,000 goal, every step will be worth it.
Thank you for your generosity, your encouragement, and your belief in this mission. Please wish us luck when we tee it up early that morning — and thank you for helping us carry our veterans and service members toward recovery.
