St. David’s Center & Minnesota Vikings Announce Inaugural "Tee Up for Tomorrow" Golf Tournament

St. David’s Center for Child & Family Development will host its inaugural Tee Up for Tomorrow Golf Tournament, presented by John Randle and the Minnesota Vikings, at Hazeltine National Golf Club on Monday, July 15, 2013. 

“We are overjoyed to partner with the Minnesota Vikings, because of their commitment to putting children first,” explained Julie Sjordal, Executive Director, St. David’s Center. “For more than 50 years, our organization has grown and changed to meet the needs of children and families in our community. As needs for high quality early education, early diagnosis and treatment, and in-home support escalate in our community, so does our need for strong charitable partnerships. The funds raised at this event will directly support these programs and have an impact on the lives of the children and families we serve for years to come.”

The Tee Up for Tomorrow Golf Tournament benefits the St. David’s Center Building Our Children’s Future Capital Campaign, a $12.25 million initiative enabling the organization to invest where the need is greatest and the return is highest: the early years. The event also combines a rare opportunity to secure a coveted tee time at Hazeltine — recognized around the world for providing an incomparable golfing experience — with the chance to make a tangible contribution toward the lives of children that will last a lifetime.

“For nearly 15 years the Minnesota Vikings have supported St. David’s Center through grants from the Vikings Children’s Fund, generous donations to its annual fundraising gala and by hosting the Vikings flu clinic at St. David’s Center,” explained Kevin Warren, Vice President of Legal Affairs & Chief Administrative Officer, Minnesota Vikings. “We are thrilled to continue our partnership by co-presenting the Tee Up for Tomorrow Golf Tournament to benefit children and families in the Twin Cities community.”

Premier sponsorships include the opportunity to golf with 2010 Pro Football Hall of Fame Inductee John Randle, father of two St. David’s Center alumni, or other local celebrities. Check-in begins at 11:00 a.m., followed by lunch and a 1:00 p.m. shotgun start. The event concludes with a cocktail reception, program and awards at 6:00 p.m. Event details, registration and sponsorship information can be found at www.stdavidscenter.org/golf. Registration closes on July 5, 2013.
