Nearly 70 lenders, servicers, and GSE representatives attended the charity event, organized and hosted by JMA Services founder John Manni at the El Dorado Country Club in McKinney, Texas. Renowned golf coach Butch Harmon headlined the event alongside PGA tour announcer and Golf Channel ""Feherty"" star David Feherty.

goal… to fund housing for at least one veteran as part of Operation Front Door"" comes closer, he said.

Featuring tee-offs, dinners, and presentations by two of five combat-wounded veterans set to pick up fully guaranteed homes as a result of the event, the proceeds benefited T1F's Operation Front Door, a program in partnership with JMA Services that provides matching funds to disabled veterans relying on federal programs to make home purchases, according to the company's Web site.

Among the beneficiaries, the two veterans who attended the event will receive grants for their homes near Houston and San Antonio. As made available by its Web site, JMA Services started supplying a thousand returned veterans with employment opportunities and property preservation services back in March.

Other veterans appeared at the event to present about their experiences with Operation Proper Exit, T1F's other initiative, which takes wounded veterans on meet-and-greet tours back to Iraq and Afghanistan to start the healing process and allow them to ""leave on their terms,"" according to Preuss.

Formed in 1997 by husband and wife team Kathy and John Manni, JMA has built a strong reputation in the field services arena through partnering with lenders and servicers to deliver professional results and face-to-face client communication.
