Coon Rapids Country Club Hosts Next Kellan’s Kingdom Fundraiser Sunday

The Coon Rapids Country Club will be hosting the next fundraiser for an all-inclusive park in Carroll, known as Kellan’s Kingdom, and is encouraging everybody to join them in having a good time for a great cause this weekend. On Sunday, Sept. 10, the golf course is hosting a four-person best ball tournament with a shotgun-style start at 1 p.m. A free-will donation will get golfers and their teams into the contest, but registration is required beforehand by calling the Coon Rapids Country Club at 712-999-2880. The fundraiser is for more than just golfers. A silent auction will be going on during the tournament with plenty of items up for bid. Winners will be announced at the conclusion of the tournament. Burgers and beverages will be available for purchase, as well. The project was started by Pat and Alie Tigges for their son, who was diagnosed with a condition similar to cerebral palsy, and has raised nearly $75,000 since approval was granted by the Carroll City Council in April this year. Combined with a $50,000 commitment from the city and a $5,000 grant, Kellan’s Kingdom is more than 85 percent of the way to their $150,000 goal. When completed, the park will feature equipment and surfacing accessible to kids of all physical abilities.
