Turkey Shoot-Out (TSO) NW was established in 2004 by Ken and Karen Vartanian. Their vision for TSO was to raise funds to give to military families in SW Washington experiencing financial difficulties as a result of long-term deployments to the Persian Gulf. Over the past 18 years, TSO NW has evolved to a 501(c)(3) that has raised over 1 million dollars supporting a broad range of assistance and services for local Veterans and their families. We are proud to have developed strong relationships with numerous charitable organizations that support those who have proudly served and defended our nation. Continued support is making a difference in the lives of so many.
“NWBB gifts professionally trained service dogs to veterans battling PTSD, helping them regain their freedom and independence."
"Our mission is to build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive, not simply struggle to get by, in the communities-OUR communities-they have worked so hard to protect."
"Our programs support our service members while they are on the front line, as they are being discharged and even long after they have returned home." VA Fisher House:"A home away from home for families of Veterans and military service members who are hospitalized at the Portland VA Medical Center acute care hospital or who are residents of the Vancouver WA Community Living Center or Residential Rehab and Treatment Program. There is no charge for families staying at the Fisher House."
"The mission of providing a welcome and safe environment to assist Veterans and their families in obtaining benefits, services, and resources to meet basic needs."
"To provide coordinated, comprehensive, individualized quality services that allow individuals to live with dignity in their home or residence."

TSO NW presents two fundraising events each year; a semi-formal Gala and a Golf Tournament. The Gala is a fun and special Saturday evening of fine dining, silent and live auction, guest speakers and music. Most of our auction items and experiences are donated. The annual Golf Tournament is held Sunday morning. The event is a four person scramble with opportunities to sponsor, donate, eat, drink and enjoy a round of golf at Royal Oaks Country Club!
Year after year, the two TSO NW events have highlighted the impressive generosity of people who support local Veterans and their families! We are inspired, motivated to give, and humbled by the sacrifice our military Veterans have endured to protect the freedoms we all enjoy!
