Coon Rapids, MN (July 31, 2023) - HOM Furniture hosted its 33rd annual HOM Open Charity Golf Tournament on July 19th, 2023, at Majestic Oaks Golf Course, Signature Course, in Ham Lake, Minnesota.

HOM Furniture’s executive team and employees participated by raising funds, volunteering at the event and, of course, playing golf!

A highlight of the day was a MNATC choir performance to kick off the tournament. Along with golf, entertainment included games; and the event wrapped up with a dinner, prizes and a program with touching testimonials from MNATC as well as information about the charity organization.

The entertainment included a performance by the Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge choir.

For more than 30 years, Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge has been restoring hope to people struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. In addition to their effective and affordable shorter-term residential and outpatient programs and their distinctive long-term faith-based recovery program, MNATC has extensive prevention and transitional/aftercare services. MNATC has Minnesota campuses in the Twin Cities, Brainerd, Duluth and Rochester, and a campus opening soon in Alexandria.

“We’ve had a long-standing partnership with our friends at MNATC and are committed to continually supporting the important work they do in our communities,” said Rod Johansen, HOM Furniture President and CEO. “The annual HOM Furniture golf tournament is the yearly highlight of our work with MNATC, and we look forward to it throughout the year. We are grateful for another successful event, good weather, and the generous support of our HOM family and friends!”

The charity golf tournament has grown over the years, from a small golf tournament into a well-known industry event featuring a full day of entertainment and strong community support. Many of HOM Furniture’s industry partners play an important part of raising the money by participating in sponsorships in and around the event.

With the addition of the funds raised during the 2022 event, the charity golf tournament has now raised more than $5.5 million for local charities.
