Ag World topped its previous fundraising record at the sixth annual Ag World Golf Classic and has announced plans for two tournaments in 2020.
Columbia Basin agriculture producers, processors and industry businesses raised $101,680 to benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities Inland Northwest at the Ag World Golf Classic held in June. Nearly 150 golfers, along with 136 sponsors and donors, took part in the tourney.
The tournament is now the largest independent fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald Charities in the Inland Northwest, according to event organizers. In the last six years, the tourney has donated $425,647 to the charity. It 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 more families.
The 2020 Ag World Golf Classic will take place in two locations. Golfers are invited to hit the links on June 2 at Canyon Lakes Golf Course, in Kennewick, Washington. Golfers will also tee off on June 4 at The Links at Moses Pointe, in Moses Lake, Washington. Registration opens in January at www.agworldgolf.com
