Big Brothers Big Sisters 2nd Annual Golf Tournament, held June 2 at Territory Golf Club in St. Cloud, raised more than $10,000 for the children of Central Minnesota. These funds will help BBBS to recruit new volunteers and expand our programs and services for kids into new communities.

Thirty teams (120 golfers) took to the pleasing blend of Scottish links and traditional forested golf holes offered at Territory Golf Club. When all the fun on the course was over, the golfers made their way into the Coyote Moon Grill for dinner and an awards program.

We thank the golfers and all of our sponsors for supporting BBBS and our annual golf tournament. Agency Sponsors: the Federated Challenge, Leighton Broadcasting, Traut Companies, ING DIRECT, and Coborn’s.
