George Strait's 12th annual Vaqueros del Mar golf tournament and benefit concert, hosted at Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort together with longtime friend and Texas businessman Tom Cusick, raised a record-setting $2.4 million for the Feherty’s Troops First Foundation, bringing the all-time total to over $17 million.

"After George and I acquired Tapatio, we had our Grand Re-Opening on 11-11-11, which was Veterans Day," notes Cusick. "We decided holding an event for our military heroes was perfect and then we met David Feherty with Troops First, and the rest is history. I believe we both would agree that this has been one of the most fulfilling experiences we have been involved in, and have grown so close to so many that have sacrificed for our country and all of us!"

In keeping with annual tradition, the event featured a golf tournament as well as a benefit concert, with performances by Strait along with Asleep at the Wheel, William Beckman, Wade Bowen, Dean Dillon, Keith Gattis, Randy Houser, Jamey Johnson and Randy Rogers.

The funds raised directly benefit wounded military service men and women. Learn more about the cause at www.troopsfirstfoundation.org.
