Why: Because we all know someone who has been affected by cancer. This tournament started four years ago, with 8 people who played 18 holes of golf, took all of their betting money from the game, and donated a total of $350 to the American Cancer Society. In 2005, there were two Zebra Open events: (1)Northern Tournament: 4 participants, who donated a total of $240 to American Cancer Society, and (2) Twin Cities Event: 12 participants, who donated a total of $650 to Jon and Kelley Campion. In 2006, we held the event for the first time at Little Falls CC, and we had 27 participants, who raised $3100 for Jon and Kelley Campion again. Last year we had the tournament in Little Falls again, drawing 31 people who raised $3000 for the Zebra Foundation.

**ZEBRA FOUNDATION: We have now established a foundation for the hockey officials in Minnesota, called the Zebra Foundation. The mission of the Zebra Foundation is “to support cancer patients and their families through donations.” Helping our fellow brothers and sisters in the referee world is what this cause is all about. Cancer can strike any of us or our families at any time, and the Zebra Foundation is here to help. Your participation ensures help for those in the future.

This year we are going BIGGER and BETTER!! Our goal is to have 100 participants, from all around the state who love to golf, talk trash, and enjoy the feeling of giving to a worthy cause.
