2008.10.16 - 9th Annual MAX4Kids Golf Tournament Raises $48,440: The 9th Annual MAX4Kids Golf Tournament turned out to be a great success, raising $48,440 for the foundation! The success of the tournament would not have been possible without the volunteer efforts of MAX associates and the generosity of our sponsors.

The weather was unseasonably warm for October, and provided a gorgeous day for a round of golf. This year 162 golfers participated playing on both the Senator and Legislator Courses. Although we didn't have any 'hole-in-one' winners, golfers had opportunities to win a pontoon boat and four cars.

A special thank you goes out to all our sponsors who helped make this tournament a success. We hope to see you next year!
