GStek Hosts 30th Annual Golf Tournament in Support of Virginia’s Veterans

Last month, GStek hosted its 30th Annual Golf Tournament to benefit the Virginia Veterans Services Foundation. For three decades, this event has brought together individuals, businesses, and community partners in support of a meaningful cause: serving Virginia’s veterans and their families.

The Foundation is grateful for the continued partnership of GStek and its team, whose commitment to Virginia’s veteran community has helped make this tournament a lasting success. A special thank you goes to GStek President Gene Strother, who has organized this event each year and has played a key role in its continued growth and impact.

Through his strong relationships within the veteran community in the Tidewater region, Gene has helped bridge an important connection between his network and the Foundation’s mission. His leadership and dedication have helped ensure that this annual tournament remains more than just a day on the golf course. It is an opportunity to raise awareness, strengthen partnerships, and generate support for veterans across the Commonwealth.

We are thankful for Gene’s continued leadership, the entire GStek team, and the many individuals and organizations who participated in this year’s tournament. Their support helped make the event a special occasion and will continue to have a meaningful impact beyond the day of the event.

Community-driven events like this allow the Foundation to continue supporting veterans in need by helping fund programs, services, and resources that make a real difference in their lives. We are proud to partner with organizations like GStek that share our commitment to honoring and serving those who have served.
