What a day at LakesFest!

A huge thank you to every sponsor, golfer, paddler, volunteer, donor, and supporter who helped make the day possible.

The golf outing was a great time, even with a short rain delay. RE/MAX Rising, Bloomington, IL picked up the tab at the golf course for all 96 golfers to help keep them hydrated😎. A few dedicated paddlers still made it onto the water thanks to Chris Sweet, and Kyle Yap absolutely rocked Green Gables to close out the evening.

This video only captures a few highlights, but the support shown throughout the entire day was incredible! We can't thank this community enough. We will share the final amount raised very soon.

Thank you for supporting Friends of EverBloom and helping us continue investing in our lakes, watersheds, and local community.
