Shown with Carlson is Seth Gregg, Chief Operating Officer of The Club Foundation. Funds were raised during the Chapter’s Annual Golf Challenge that is held every September. The proceeds from the Annual Golf Challenge are donated to The Club Foundation and Bridging.

Bridging is a Twin City area non profit who’s mission is to provide the economically disadvantaged with a one-time gift of quality furniture and household items which helps to stabilize and improve their lives.
