Clouds, mist and cold winds failed to stop more than 150 golfers at the 2007 Tee Up for Hospice Golf Tournament Aug. 20 at Chisago Lakes Golf Course in Lindstrom from raising funds for Fairview Lakes HomeCaring & Hospice. Proceeds of the annual golf benefit help support hospice services and Camp Triumph, a weekend camp for grieving children. The event has raised nearly $190,000 for hospice services over the past 19 years.

This year's tournament sponsors were: Fairview Lakes Health Services, University of Minnesota Physicians Radiation Therapy Center, Honeywell, Kraus-Anderson, The River Bank, Thrivent, Plastic Products Co., Inc., Unity Bank East and Zinpro.

Hole sponsors were: Point Pleasant Heights, Advance Concrete and Masonry, Wyoming Drug/Rolseth Drug/Lindstrom Snyders, Grandstrand Funeral Homes, First State Bank of Wyoming, Patriot Bank MN and Security State Bank of Marine.
