golf tournament

You can tee off next week to support the Special Olympics. The Peterson's and Midwest Financial Solutions Charity Golf Benefit for Special Olympics Minnesota will be Monday at the St. Cloud Country Club.

A Sartell based non-profit is hoping for sunny skies for their fundraiser this weekend. The Tom Bearson Foundation is hosting its 3rd Annual Golf Tournament at Blackberry Ridge Golf Course in Sartell, Saturday.

The first ever "Playing 4 Life" golf tournament will raise money to research Alport Syndrome, a rare kidney diease. It was organized by Ryan Landwehr, who received two live kidney transplants in his fight against the syndrome and now wants to give back. It's Friday at Eagle Trace Golf Club in Clearwater beginning at 1:00 p.m. Proceeds from the tournament will benefit the Alport Syndrome Foundation.

10 years ago, Jeff Keller's first charity golf tournament had four teams and raised around $50. He organized the event to collect donations to help offset the costs of cancer treatment for a chosen community member. The tradition has continued, and each year, someone facing medical expenses has benefited from the growing tournament.
