20th Annual Golf Fore Club Kids
*Reaches Goal!*
THANK YOU Sponsors!
2024 Golf Championship Program
20th Annual Golf Fore Club Kids Championship raises over $60,000 for the Boys & Girls Club of the Bemidji Area.
In a fantastic showing for the Boys & Girls Club of the Bemidji Area, the 20th Annual Golf Fore Club Kids Tournament raised over $60,000.
Held at the Bemidji Town & Country Club on Aug. 19, the tournament celebrated 20 years of community support for the Boys & Girls Club which will go to support year-round programs for the hundreds of youth who attend the Club. In the event’s 20 years it has raised over $550,000.
This year also honored long-time golfers who have been participating in the tournament for 10, 15 and 20 years. Among those honored was Russ Moen, who has chaired the Golf Committee since the event’s inception and has golfed in every tournament. Without his dedication, the event wouldn’t have become the successful community staple that it is.
“We couldn’t have done it without Russ,” said Andrea Kent, the Club’s executive director. “This event has made an incredible difference for our kids and for our whole community.”
Winning the tournament, Todd Moudry & Joel MacDonald. Congratulations also to our 2nd place team, Steve Kroger & Paul Snider, and 3rd place team, Todd Vonderhaar & Kevin Waldo.
Thank you to our Event sponsor Bob Lowth Ford and Masters sponsor Mark Sand & Gravel Co., as well as all of our Driving Range, Cart, Ace, Eagle, Birdie, Green, and Hole sponsors who make this event so successful year after year.
