NORTH PLATTE, NEB – Eagle Communications has donated $3,000 to the Make-A-Wish Greater Nebraska campaign. The Third annual Eagle Golf Classic which is presented by Eagle Communications, Janssen GMC, Janssen Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, and Tami Timmerman with Lashley Land and Residential was held on April 29th, at Lake Maloney Golf Course.
The 18-hole golf tournament featured 24 teams this year. The donation money came from part of registration fees, mulligan tickets, and alcohol sales from a hole on the course. Each year, Eagle and its correspondent sponsors take turns picking a different non-profit organization to be represented at the event. This year, Make-A-Wish Greater Nebraska was chosen. In the first year of the golf classic, the donation money was split between Trails Network and the Lincoln County Ag Society and last year it was Grady’s Avengers.
The Make-A-Wish Greater Nebraska is an organization that grants wishes to children with critical illnesses and the goal is to grant one to every child. “The check will be used to help grant wishes for kids in Greater Nebraska, North Platte, Kearney, and Western Nebraska” said Wish and Development Coordinator – Greater Nebraska, Chloe Wise.
