Tony Schaefer of Tarkio, Missouri, tees off on the sixth hole during the CommuniTEE Golf Benefit classic.
The 31st annual CommuniTEE Golf Benefit was held August 12 and 13 at the Mound City Golf Course. Over 200 golfers and volunteers came together in support of the hospital with the goal of raising money toward lifesaving equipment and technology. The event raised approximately $38,000 thanks to the sponsors, volunteers, and golfers.
Teams from all over northwest Missouri came together for the two-day tournament and greatly enjoyed the beautiful golf course and the company of friends and family. Golfers were given dry fit t-shirts and koozies. They were treated to breakfast and lunch both days, appetizers on Friday evening and a dinner catered by Holstine Catering on Saturday before the award presentation.
The Community Hospital-Fairfax golf benefit is organized by an outstanding group of volunteers. Brock Nuckolls of Rock Port and Doug Kline of Maitland served as the 2022 Golf co-chairmen.
The benefit will be played at Tarkio Golf Course next year, August 11-12, 2023.
