2010 "Tee One For Hope" Charity Golf Tournament
Thanks to our many sponsors, golfers, employees and volunteers, the 13th Annual "Tee One For Hope" Charity Golf Tournament was a great success. This was Rahr Malting’s second year as Title Sponsor for the event, which was held at Stonebrook Golf Club in Shakopee. The tournament raised more than $87,000, including over $24,000 in-kind donations and services in support of the lives of those receiving cancer care at St. Francis Regional Medical Center.

5k Run to End Polio
St. Francis Regional Medical Center was a major sponsor for the Chaska Rotary's First Annual 5k Run to End Polio in June 2010. Proceeds from the race benefit the "End Polio Now" campaign by Rotary International as part of a challenge grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The funds raised ensure that children around the world will receive the polio vaccine through Rotary International immunization events worldwide. To learn more visit www.rotary.org.
