Thank you -
to everyone who helped with the 15th Annual Heinie Ridler Memorial Golf Tournament. More than $8,000 was raised for Hospice this year.

Heinie Ridler, an avid golfer, worked as business manager for the Willmar Golf Club (now Eagle Creek) for eleven years. She lost her battle to cancer in December 1994.

Hospice played an important role in helping Heinie and her family cope with her illness. In her memory, her friends organized this tournament to raise funds for the Rice Hospice Program.

We appreciate every one of the sponsors who contributed money or merchandise for the tournament. It is because of your generous support that this tournament is so successful.

Your gifts reach out into the community to bring hope, comfort, and peace to patients and their families having to deal with a loved one's terminal illness.

The Heinie Ridler Memorial Tournament is proud to play a role in keeping Rice Hospice a viable and active community program. A special thank you to our 2009 major sponsors Harvey Anderson Funeral Homes, Doug Wilmoth and Slumberland.
