Orlando, FL (PRWEB) August 28, 2012

Intelligent Decisions (ID), Inc., a recognized leader in federal IT solutions, announced today that it will proudly host the ThanksUSA Fundraising Golf Tournament at Lake Nona Golf and Country Club in Orlando, FL, on November 5. Players in the charity tournament will include distinguished wounded warrior military veterans from the Orlando area. All of the tournaments proceeds will go to help meet ThanksUSAs mission mobilizing Americans of all ages to thank the active-duty men and women of the U.S. armed forces by providing scholarships for their families. ThanksUSA provides need-based scholarships to military spouses and dependents to pursue a full-time post-secondary education, including vocational and technical training.

The ThanksUSA scholarship program has awarded nearly $ 8.5 million in scholarships to military spouses and children since being founded six years ago, said Michele Stork, ThanksUSA executive director. A major factor in the organizations success is the continued support of corporate donors like Intelligent Decisions.

Our military families sacrifice so much with their loved ones often stationed far from home, said Harry Martin, ID president and CEO and member of the ThanksUSA board of directors. Intelligent Decisions is honored to host this ThanksUSA Charity Golf Tournament, which recognizes the sacrifices of our active-duty service members, and their families, through educational scholarships for their spouses and children.

Lake Nonas Tom Fazio-designed championship golf course is world-ranked and has been a regular host of the PGA Tour-sanctioned Tavistock Cup.
