His effort on behalf of the Kermit’s Keweenaw Kids Program is remarkable, and we are deeply grateful for his support. In addition, we would like to thank Allison Hruska for her assistance with fundraising, and Neil Isaacson and the staff at Sandy Pebbles for their generosity in hosting this event (and donating the green fees to Kermit’s Kids as well), and to our community of supporters who made it a success!
