Golf Scramble & Outdoor Barbeque at Ruttger’s Bay Lake Lodge
The 30th Annual Hospice Charity Event will be held on July 14 at Ruttger’s Bay Lake Lodge in Deerwood, Minn. This year’s event will feature an outdoor barbeque to commemorate the 30th anniversary milestone.
“I’m very excited to help organize this year’s Hospice Charity Event,” says Kim Jones, local community member who has been hired to coordinate the event this year. “The funds raised support a cause that touches so many of our lives at one time or another. The success of this fun and exciting event depends on generous sponsorships and tremendous volunteer efforts from the Aitkin and Crosby communities.”
Last year, the event brought in over $23,000 for local hospice and palliative care.
Tom Kuppich, Hospice Charity Event committee member, says: “This year’s Hospice Charity Event will be a day to remember. To celebrate 30 years of raising funds for hospice care, we’re mixing it up a little bit, including holding an outdoor barbeque for dinner. Whether you are a golfer, sponsor, diner or volunteer, you don’t want to miss this event. We’re looking forward to a relaxing day on a course, all for a good cause.”
Early event sponsors include Aitkin Motor Company, Bremer Bank, Grand Casino-Mille Lacs, Lundberg Plumbing and Heating, Paulbeck’sCountyMarketand Sorenson-Root-Thompson Funeral Homes.
Riverwood Foundation is currently recruiting sponsorships and donations for its live and silent auctions. For more information, or to register for the golf scramble or dinner, contact Kim Jones at (218) 380-3636 or kjones@riverwoodhealthcare.org
