22nd Annual Make-A-Wish® Golf Tournament and Evening of Inspiration

Thank you to everyone who participated in our 22nd Annual Make-A-Wish South Dakota & Montana Golf Tournament at the Minnehaha Country Club in Sioux Falls, SD! The event saw 25 golf teams who enjoyed beautiful summer weather and friendly competition. We hosted an Evening of Inspiration program and auction, featuring a variety of donated items from community businesses and individuals. Thanks to the generous support of many, this event raised just over $200,000 to grant wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Congratulations to the winning teams!
