Northfield Retirement Community Announces 2013 Golf Classic

Northfield Retirement Community (NRC) invites the community to participate in its 7th Annual NRC Golf Classic, to be held on Monday, June 3, at Northfield Golf Club.

The NRC Golf Classic is a fundraising event put on by the Northfield Retirement Community Foundation and is designed to give broad support for the NRC mission of providing exceptional housing and care services to older adults.

Event organizer and NRC Vice President of Long Term Care Operations Tom Nielsen said, “The Golf Classic has quickly become one of our favorite events. It’s a great opportunity to get out and enjoy the company of friends and supporters while contributing to the mission of NRC. We’re excited to once again welcome community members to Northfield Golf Club for a fun afternoon of golf and fellowship, and we hope to continue building this event in the years to come.”

In addition to supporting the NRC mission, proceeds from the event also serve to fund the organization’s special projects. This year’s event will help fund the organization’s new Pathways of Faith Park, set to be dedicated in the coming months. The Northfield Retirement Community Foundation exists to provide support for NRC’s mission, programs and services by raising monies through grants, appeals, campaigns and individual gifts.

The event features 18 holes of golf held in a scramble format, along with lunch and an elegant banquet dinner. There are also multiple prize opportunities for participants, including a $10,000 hole-in-one prize and a $5,000 putting contest.

The NRC Golf Classic kicks off at 12:15 p.m. on Monday, June 3, at Northfield Golf Club. Registration and lunch begin at 11 a.m. and the awards ceremony and dinner take place at 5:30 p.m. For more information or to register, call 507-645-9511 or visit northfieldretirement.org/golf.
