The 21st annual Le Mars United Way golf tournament was held at Willow Creek Golf Course yesterday (Thursday, August 28.) The event marked the kick-off for the current fiscal year fundraising campaign.
Kyon Ludwig, Le Mars United Way Board Chair, says every donation goes to help people right here in the Le Mars Community and Plymouth County.
This year, approximately $200,000 was awarded to 31 programs run by local agencies. To determine funding, local board members spent time visiting the agencies and discussing how United Way funds could be effectively used to provide safety net services or ensure that children grow into successful adults, the two focus areas for Le Mars United Way.
