The 26th Annual IIAN Golf Tournament last Thursday was a success! There were 140 players participating in an amazing day of golf, prizes and camaraderie, while raising more than $25,000 for the IIAN Foundation's college outreach and scholarships.  ​

While at the event, golfers could enter a raffle to support the IIAN Foundation for a chance to win a Kansas City Royals Signature Suite package, sponsored by our Industry Partner, Imperial PFS.  

The names drawn as the raffle winners were Greg Zimmer, Simon McKenzie, Jeremiah Gudding, Justin Hochstein and Todd Anderson. Each of these winners will receive four suite tickets to a Kansas City Royals game this fall, a parking pass and a catered meal.

The best scoring teams of golfers won prizes as well! In the first flight, first place went to Mitch Florea, Sean Kruger, Tyler Bebout and Trey Strong with a score of 54. Second place went to Mark Egge, Troy Bridgford, Paul Johnson and Cole Joneson with a score of 55.  

In the second flight, the first place team included Larry Albright, Brad Bartling, Derek Meyer and Rick Iske, who finished with a score of 62. The second place team was Brad Forsberg, Tim Linquest, Riley Tonkin and Justin Nightengale, who also scored 62. 

​The course featured a variety of pin prize challenges for individual players – the winners are listed below:
