Slice of Hope Golf Tournament          


Monday, June 20

Greetings!,


Slice of Hope GraphicOur mandatory month-long summer session is in full swing--with hundreds of inner city youth in grades K-12 receiving supplemental reading, math, and other enrichment education. More time on task is one of our central strategies for addressing the urban crisis in education. 

 

One way you can join us this summer in closing the achievement gap is by joining me and Matt Birk in our First Annual Slice of Hope Golf Tournament next Thursday, June 30th at 11:30am at Theodore Wirth Golf Course. We still have room for six foursomes and seven hole sponsorships (see details below!).

 

If you would like to host a foursome of friends for a fun afternoon of golf, or would like to sponsor a hole to support inner city youth, call or e-mail Dan Olson at 612-721-6294 ext 106, or [email protected]
