On June 19, the Winona Community Foundation hosted its 6th Annual Charity Golf Outing at the beautiful Bridges Golf Course in Winona. 23 teams teed off in support of the Foundation’s Community Grant Program, which supports a wide range of initiatives in our community, including education, arts & culture, health & human services, childhood literacy, and more through grants to local non-profits.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our 33 sponsors, the outing raised over $35,000, all of which will be reinvested into the Winona community through grants distributed this Fall. Each year, the demand for funding exceeds available resources, and the additional dollars raised through this event help lessen this gap.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to the event’s three major sponsors: In Memory of Helen Leaf Haun, In Memory of Bob Kierlin, and PNG Worldwide.  The Foundation also extends its gratitude to all sponsors and donors. Your support makes a lasting difference in the lives of those served by Winona’s nonprofits.
