The first ever "Tee It Up for the Troops" fundraiser found a home in Mankato. More than $65,000 was raised for the veterans and their families at both the golf event and the last minute "Tune It Up for the Troops" concert which drew an estimated 2,000 people.
An event like this requires some real dedication and passion which was event from Marley Lloyd, Mike Enger and John Wolf. A tremendous amount of time and energy was devoted and there already are plans for another event next August 27.
