It’s almost time for the high school sports season to begin, which also means it’s time for the annual Lumberjack Scramble golf fundraiser at the Bemidji Town & Country Club.
The Lumberjack Scramble is now in its 30th year and has certainly been a success on the fundraising front, bringing in nearly a million dollars for Bemidji Middle and High School activities. But the event has also been a success for the Lumberjack community, bringing together coaches, faculty, families, and more for a great day of golf in support of those who ultimately benefit most – the students.
“The Baer family and Security Bank have done a superb job in putting together a high-quality event that people keep coming back for,” said Kristen McRae, Bemidji High School Activities Director. “It’s something that a lot of our alumni and families plan their summer get-togethers around. It’s withstood the test of time and it just keeps growing. People want to get in, it fills up fast. I mean, it says a lot about our community, the support we have, and the Baer family and Security Bank.”
Last year, the tournament raised just under $65,000. If they hit their goal of beating that mark on Friday, then the fund will have officially raised over a million dollars in 30 years.
