Coon Rapids, MN (Thursday, August 26) - Over 128 participants enjoyed a warm day on the fairways and greens at Majestic Oaks Golf Course, in Ham Lake, Minnesota. HOM Furniture’s 31th annual HOM Open Charity Golf Tournament supported local organization Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge (MNATC) and other charities by raising over $300,000 in funds on August 19, 2021.

“This is one of our favorite days of the year,” remarked HOM Furniture President and CEO Rod Johansen. “It’s amazing to see so many of our local and industry partners supporting an important cause. We were fortunate to be able to have our tournament this year. We decided when we began planning last year that we would do a smaller than normal event as we ease back into normalcy with limited participants on a single golf course versus our normal use of both the Crossroads and the Signature courses at Majestic Oaks with over 300 participants."

This sunny day began with driving range warm ups, burgers and brats to go and the kick off to the tournament with a beautiful rendition of the national anthem, performed by the MNATC Choir in front of excited golfers. The afternoon concluded with dinner, prizes and a 2021 re-cap from Pastor Rich Scherber, Executive Director of MNATC, along with two MNATC students sharing their life stories. Scherber described how the HOM Open has been an important part in the new women’s facility Freedom Manor, a place to find a full continuum of care for women ranging from outpatient services to residential treatment, transition planning and aftercare.

Over the past 31 years, the HOM Open Charity Golf Tournament has raised over $5M for charities in our communities. This tournament has grown from a small golf tournament into an industry event that welcomes leaders, employees, family members, and friends to come out and show their support every year; with August 18, 2022 marking the 32nd HOM Open event.
