To Everyone With A Cando Connection:

With the start of our 15th 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, waiting to see how the COVID-19 Virus and several variants have been moving across the world and our country, and trying to be patient while waiting for it to truly be gone - which has not happened - we have decided not to host an Impact-Cando Connection Fund golf tournament this year. We have worked the past 15 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. 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.

With our decision not to host a golf tournament this year, we have launched the 2022 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 2022 Fall Grant Round. Please consider making a donation to the Impact-Cando Connection Fund to help sustain the services and programming of the qualified charitable organizations in the Cando/Towner County area. We realize the charitable organizations serving the Cando area are still going to need grant monies for their organizations coming off another challenging year with continued interruptions to some programming and services.

We also realize that businesses, families, and individuals have each been impacted differently by this 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 2022 Impact-Cando Connection Fund Caring Campaign. Should you wish to donate, please open, print and complete the donation form below and return it with your check made payable to the Impact-Cando Connection Fund, to the following address:
