HOM Furniture raised more than $335,000 at its 27th annual HOM Open charity golf tournament, which had more than 300 participants and took place at the Majestic Oaks Golf Club’s two championship courses in Ham Lake, Minn.
The longstanding major recipient of the event was Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge (MNATC), a faith-based recovery program for people of all ages struggling with drug and alcohol addiction with Minnesota campuses in the Twin Cities, Brainerd, Duluth, and Rochester.
“For almost 30 years, Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge has restored hope to people by providing effective and affordable short term programs as well as extensive prevention and transitional aftercare programs for their graduates,” says Wayne Johansen, Founder and Chairman of HOM Furniture, who co-chairs the annual event with his wife, Char.
“The HOM Open is the highlight of our summer, it is an event that Char and I, along with our family, friends, vendors and guests look forward to each year. We are blessed to have such a big turn out and everyone has a great time while supporting an amazing charity.”
Vendors and out-of-town guests started the day with breakfast, followed by games, 18 holes of golf, and a live auction with items supplied by vendors such as Serta and Tropitone. The day concluded with dinner, golf awards and testimonials from MNATC residents detailing how their lives have been saved by the staff at the organization.
