The Minden Foundation hosted one of its largest fundraisers to date this past weekend. The 2025 Minden Charity Classic golf tournament has expanded with new and returning events.
The multi-day fundraiser began Friday, May 30, with a Dinner & Auction held at Pine Hills Country Club. Attendees participated in live and silent auctions to raise funds for the nonprofit, which offers financial support to individuals and families affected by house fires, medical emergencies, and other unforeseen crises.
A new event, “Birdies, Bubbles, & Bingo,” was added to the Charity Classic lineup and held Saturday, May 31, also at Pine Hills. Participants gathered for bingo games and refreshments in a festive social setting, with proceeds going to the Minden Foundation.
Earlier in the week, the Foundation also hosted a bourbon tasting on May 29 at the Fuller White House. Promoted as an opportunity for both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers, the tasting drew attendees in support of the Foundation’s charitable mission.
In addition to in-person events, supporters were invited to participate in a fundraising raffle for a Predator Electric Off-Road Hunting Bike. Tickets were sold for $20 each, with all proceeds directed toward the Foundation’s assistance programs.
