This event brings
together golfers from around the
Twin Cities Metropolitan area and southern Minnesota to participate in an afternoon’s round of golf, reception & silent auction, the evening’s
banquet dinner, program, & awards presentation.
A shotgun start is at 12:30 (come early for lunch!), and the evenings
festivities promise every year to wrap up by 7:30.
Sponsorships; golfer’s
fees; proceeds from the silent auction; and individual donations are given
directly to St. Joseph’s Home for Children.
Each year, since 1994, Jeane Thorne Inc. has picked up the tab
for the event as its part in raising funds and community awareness
for the children of St. Joseph’s.
Jeane
Thorne Inc. CEO Mary Marso-Schmitz states, “We chose an organization
to support that would
benefit not only from the dollars raised each year, but one that would
benefit from the community awareness building of the needs of these at-risk
children. As
a staffing and human resource management firm, I believe that investing in
the success of our children just makes sense: our community’s children are
our future workforce. In
addition, Minnesota is a very philanthropic state and the generosity of
business deserves recognition - it speaks to the strength of good corporate
citizenship that thrives here.”
