Villa St. Vincent/The SUMMIT Foundation hosted its seventh annual Glow Golf Tournament on Saturday, September 8 at Minakwa Golf Course. 16 teams participated in what has gotten to be a community favorite event. Cindy Hulst, Villa St. Vincent’s Foundation Development Director said, “It was a great night of golfing; full of fun, friendships, and fundraising.”
The first-place team was sponsored by CENTROL (Mike Kasowski). Members of that team were Mike Kasowski, Tom Johnson, Paul Metzger, and Doug Lenz. The second-place team was sponsored by United Crookston Insurance. Members of that team were Mark Menard, Julio Dahl, Vance Harren, and Travis Nicholas. And the team taking third place was sponsored by Dr. Erik & Judie Kanten. Members of that team included Alex Ranz, Justin Burke, Chris Osen, and Ryan Skaug.
Hulst noted that this year’s proceeds will once again be used to make life quality enhancements for Villa St. Vincent resident guests and SUMMIT tenant guests. New furniture will be purchased for the communal areas, such as the lounges, libraries, and lobbies of the Villa and SUMMIT. “The Villa and SUMMIT is home for many and it is important for their quality of life to have a sense of hominess, safety, and comfort for themselves and their guests.”
Hulst also said, “The support, generosity, sponsorship, and participation of those involved in the Glow Golf Tournament is so valued and appreciated in continuing the mission of serving elders of our community and region. ”
