Two events held Sunday, Oct. 20 at Lake Panorama National combined to raise more than $12,000 to support the ongoing LPN Capital Fundraising Campaign.
Fourteen teams enjoyed perfect fall weather as they competed in the four-person, best-ball tournament. Team sponsorships raised $8,000, with mulligan sales bringing in another $280. There were two $1,000 hole-in-one sponsors — Lake Lumber and Tometich Engineering.
The 20 Men Who Can Cook event was in the LPN banquet room 3:30-6:30 p.m. It featured local chefs who prepared their favorite dishes for guests to sample. Tables for taste testing and socializing were available in the middle of the banquet room, with the chefs stationed at tables around the perimeter.
Those who played in the golf tournament had their entry fee to the 20 Men event covered. Another 105 people purchased tickets either in advance or at the door to bring attendance to around 160. Ticket sales plus some additional donations made in connection with the Sunday fundraisers pushed the total for the day to more than $12,000.

Proceeds from these two events, combined with private donations and proceeds from the 2024 Beach Ball, puts the total raised to date at $86,000.
Organizers say they plan to hold both a golf tournament and a food sampling event again in 2025 to help fund additional LPN golf course improvements next fall.
