Ag World ended 2018 by presenting a $91,487 check to the Ronald McDonald House Charities Inland Northwest. Columbia Basin potato producers, processors and industry supporters raised the money at the fifth annual Ag World Golf Classic held in June. Nearly 150 golfers, along with more than 100 sponsors and donors took part in the tournament.
In the last five years, the tournament has raised $325,967 for the charity. The Ronald McDonald House Charities Inland Northwest provides temporary lodging, comfort and support for families with children receiving medical services in Spokane, Washington, and supports related efforts to improve children’s health in the region. The charity is building a new facility across the street from its current location to serve even more families.
