The Minden Rotary Giving Cup Golf Tournament Fundraiser on May 18 was a huge success which is a testament to the hard work of the organizers, the generosity of sponsors, especially our lead sponsors VIP Rubber and The Black Dog Companies, and, of course, the support of Rotarians.

Ninety-two golfers teed off at Genoa Lakes and were joined at lunch by 40 others who cheered on the winning team of Mike Dunn, Sheri Millichap, Elizabeth Elwell, and Brandon Griffin. Park Ranch supplied the tri-tip for the hearty lunch which was followed by a silent auction and a live auction led by Sonney of Sonney’s BBQ. The monies earned will allow Minden Rotary to continue their support of non-profits and community groups as well as teachers as they focus on helping at-risk youth in our community.

The nonprofit Me For Incredible Youth led by JoJo and Suzie Townsell was the designated partner this year who will also benefit from this event. MEFiYi introduces and maintains student participation in education, sports, enrichment and career development. Several students from the organization helped during the event.

So mark your calendar for Saturday, May 17, 2025, for the next Giving Cup.

Since 2021 Minden Rotary has raised over $140,000 to fund their community efforts. Rotary is an organization of leaders and successful people who help each other and collectively help others. In addition to assisting at-risk kids, Rotary has assisted in making many improvements throughout our community.
