3rd Annual Cardinal Classic — Another One in the Books!

We survived 18 holes, questionable golf decisions, and hopefully only a few lost golf balls!

A huge thank you to Heartland Country Club for hosting us and providing the meal, Lewiston Auto and Riverside Integrated Solutions for sponsoring, and the many generous local businesses who sponsored a golf hole. We truly appreciate your support!

And, of course, thank you to everyone who came out to play and support the Cardinal Foundation.

Together, we raised over $11,000 for Lewiston-Altura schools!

Thank you for supporting L-A students!

Have a Thrivent Action Team gift card but aren't sure what to use it for? We'd love to put it to good use!

The Cardinal Foundation has several upcoming projects that could benefit from Thrivent Action Team support. If you have an available Action Team card and are looking for a meaningful way to use it, please send us a message. We'd be happy to match you with a project that will directly benefit the students and staff of the Lewiston-Altura School District.

Thank you for helping us make a difference in our community! ❤️🖤
