Rain doesn't dampen golf day

Viking legend adds to tourney excitement

Rain soaked the greens but not the spirits of 140 golfers who played in the 23rd Annual Anne Carlsen Center for Children Benefit Golf Tournament Saturday, June 11.

Helping to keep spirits high was Minnesota Viking legend Joey Browner, the celebrity host at this year’s tournament. He was on the Jamestown Country Club course all day, putting with teams on hole three and driving with them on four. Prior to his appearance at the tournament, he spent time at ACCC meeting students and staff.

In its 23-year history the tournament has raised more than $330,000 for programming benefiting children and young adults with special needs at Anne Carlsen Center for Children.

Derek, a HUGE Vikings fan, was just one of the students who was excited to have his picture taken with (and autographed) Joey Browner when he visited the Center.
