Get ready to relive the excitement of the Annual Tuffy Nelson Classic, where summer fun meets incredible fundraising! For two thrilling days, golfers of all levels came together to enjoy the sunshine, engage in friendly competition, and make unforgettable memories as we celebrated our 39th year. This year, we hit a new high with a record-breaking 480 participants, all swinging into action for a fantastic cause.
This event is more than just golf, it’s a driving force for a meaningful change. Our mission is to increase cancer awareness and raise funds for research and support. Since its beginning, the Tuffy Nelson Classic has raised over $1.5 million. This year, we were thrilled to support seven incredible causes: Roger Maris Cancer Center, Pinky Swear Foundation, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), American Cancer Society, Brave Like Gabe-U of M Foundation in honor of Abigail Anderson, TB1 Fund, and Make-A-Wish Minnesota.
These incredible organizations are on the front lines, fighting cancer and bringing hope to families. Make-A-Wish, in particular, creates magical moments by granting life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses. Thanks to everyone who joined us, swung their clubs, and made a difference!
