On June 22, 2018, the 25th Annual O’Donnell & Friends Open was held at Toad Valley Golf Course in support of Des Moines area charities. This is our largest fundraiser that has raised more than one million dollars for Des Moines Area needs.
With the help of our sponsors, contributors, golfers, and volunteers, this year’s event brought in over $90,000 to help Des Moines area needs. At the Open, we distributed $68,342.25 to Community Youth Concepts, our major charity recipient for 2018. Community Youth Concepts intends on using these funds to build a ropes course for the youth they serve. Additionally, we announced other distributions recently made to Principal Charity Classic, Amanda the Panda, COPS Classic, and the Lincoln High School Softball team.
We also recognized our FIRST recipients of the Dan & Dee O’Donnell Memorial Scholarship. Congratulations to Jack Clarke, Christopher Horn, Kinsey Lester, and Sandra Orellana Diaz on this well-deserved award.
Congratulations to the 1st place winners of this year’s Open: Jay Simpson, Ben Roberts, John McDermont, and Ron Wilson.
This event could not occur without the generosity of those involved. Thank you to the following for making this a truly special 25th year.
