WOW… where do we even begin? 💚

We are absolutely overwhelmed by the incredible turnout for the 2nd Annual Iron Aiden 36.

From the golfers who filled our courses, to our sponsors, volunteers, businesses, silent auction donors, and every single person who attended the banquet or simply shared our event—you made this weekend something truly special.

What started as an unimaginable loss has become a community united by love, kindness, and a commitment to making a difference in Aiden’s name.

Every handshake, every hug, every laugh, every story shared, and every dollar raised is a reminder that Aiden’s impact didn’t end a year ago. His legacy continues to bring people together and create opportunities for young people throughout our community.

There are no words that could ever fully express what it means to our family to see so many people continue to show up for our son. In the hardest chapter of our lives, you’ve reminded us that we don’t walk this road alone.

To our sponsors, volunteers, golfers, donors, friends, family, and supporters—thank you for believing in the mission of the AVB Foundation and for helping us turn heartbreak into hope.

We have a lot of numbers to tally and stories to relive, but one thing is already certain:

Aiden was loved. He is still loved. And because of all of you, his legacy is changing lives.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making the 2nd Annual Iron Aiden 36 a weekend we’ll never forget.

Until next year… 💚⛳️

📣 Important Iron Aiden 36 Golf Tournament Update 📣

Due to the recent storm damage at The Dunes Golf Course, we have made the difficult decision to adjust this year’s tournament to 18 holes.

The safety of our golfers and the condition of the course were our top priorities in making this decision. We appreciate everyone’s understanding as The Dunes works to recover from the storm.

Our updated event schedule:
⛳ Golf begins at 9:00 AM at Hillsview Golf Course.
🏆 We are currently planning to hold the awards ceremony at the Ramkota at approximately 4:00 PM.
🍽️ Meal provided.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the Iron Aiden 36. We look forward to spending the day together honoring Aiden’s memory while raising funds to support local youth and families.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to see everyone on the course! 💚
