MONROE — The Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation’s “Little Golf” and Grill event, held on June 14, was a sunny afternoon of mini golf that led into a night full of generous giving for a great cause. 

This year’s “Little Golf” and Grill was held at Swissland Miniature Golf in New Glarus, with dinner following under the tent at Chalet Landhaus Inn. The event raised over $52,000 from countless heartfelt donations provided by community members and businesses. 

“It was so special to come together to enjoy our 30th year of ‘Little Golf’ and Grill,” said Jane Sybers, Executive Director of Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation, a member of SSM Health. “Even the heat couldn’t damper our guests’ excitement and dedication to supporting our SSM Health at Home’s hospice services!” 

The evening program honored the work hospice workers do to support our community and a special tribute to longtime Hospice supporter, Lois Kaster, who passed in 2021. To round out the evening, a silent and live auction, that featured popular experiences such as UW sports and garden packages, brought forward the competitive spirit of many. 

A special thanks goes to the event’s Founding Sponsor, Hans Lenzlinger and family, for all their generosity. The Lenzlinger family graciously underwrote the entire event, resulting in all the dollars raised going directly to local hospice services. Gratitude also goes to this year’s Diamond Sponsors, Kalscheur Family Foundation and Only in Wisconsin Giving, Incorporated.
