To Everyone with a Cando Connection:
With the start of our 16th year of fundraising as volunteers on behalf of the Impact-Cando Connection Fund, we were faced with making another decision about hosting our annual golf tournament in Cando, ND. After much contemplation, hearing over the last several weeks of instances of people attending events where those in attendance came from across the country or state to participate, then coming down with the COVID-19 virus once they returned home, we have decided not to host an Impact-Cando Connection Fund golf tournament again this year. We have worked the past 16 years to have the Impact-Cando Connection Fund be a consistently positive, uplifting opportunity which provides a way for others to give back to the Cando/Towner County area. Once again, based on recent information, we did not want to be the catalyst of a COVID-19 Virus outbreak when potentially gathering people from outside the area who would travel to Cando to golf in our tournament. The possibility still remains of contracting the COVID-19 Virus in larger social gatherings. We are truly saddened that we have had to make this decision the last four years, especially since the tournament was such a fun gathering of people who truly cared for the Cando and surrounding areas and wanted to give back to the area charitable organizations.
With our decision not to host a golf tournament this year, we have launched the 2023 Impact-Cando Connection Fund Caring Campaign to once again take its place in the hopes that donations will be raised to help us complete our 2023 Fall Grant Round. You are receiving this email as someone who has participated in our fundraising efforts in the past or who has a Cando Connection, and to give you an opportunity to make a donation to help sustain the services and programming of the qualified charitable organizations in the Cando/Towner County area.
We also realize that businesses, families, and individuals have each been impacted differently by the COVID-19 Pandemic, and we want to respectfully recognize that fact. With all of this information in mind, this is your invitation to participate as a donor for the 2023 Impact-Cando Connection Fund Caring Campaign. Should you wish to donate, please complete the attached form and return it with your check made payable to the Impact-Cando Connection Fund, and mail them to the following address:
Attn: Cynthia Eggl
