THANK YOU to everyone who came out and helped make our inaugural golf outing a huge success. On behalf of our entire group, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous support. Your sponsorships, raffle items, and foursomes played a vital role in making the event a tremendous success, and we are truly grateful for your partnership.

Thanks to your contribution, we were able to host a memorable experience and raise over $12K! Your commitment to our mission and your investment in our event helped create a day filled with camaraderie, great golf, and lasting memories.

We deeply appreciate your generosity and belief in what we do. We look forward to the opportunity to work together again in the future and hope you’ll join us for next year’s outing!

With sincere gratitude,
The Friends of Fort Harrison State Park
