‘Little Golf’ and Grill brings community together for hospice

‘Little Golf’ and Grill brings community together for hospice 
The Monroe Times, Monroe, WI; 7/11/25 
The Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation’s annual “Little Golf” and Grill event, held on June 17, once again brought together community members for an evening filled with laughter, camaraderie, and purpose. The event began with an afternoon of mini golf at Swissland Miniature Golf in New Glarus. Hospice volunteers and staff provided games and fun facts about hospice throughout the course until the Alp Horns signaled the transition to a festive dinner and program under the tent at Chalet Landhaus Inn. During the program, the Colden Family shared their hospice story and gratitude for their loved one’s care so that “they could be family, not caretakers”. Thanks to the generous support of local businesses, donors, and attendees, the event raised $78,853 in support of local hospice care. This brings the total raised over the event’s 33-year history to more than $1,084,000.
Editor's Note: What a wonderful community event, filled with "games and fun facts about hospice," followed by their "festive dinner and program." Their miniature golf format readily lends itself to intergenerational interactions, stories, educational dialogue, and new memories for years ahead.
