TOUCHSTONE ENERGY® OPEN
Beltrami Electric's Touchstone Energy® Open golf tournament is held in August each year at Castle Highland's Golf Course, north of Bemidji. The 15th annual event was held August 23, 2019 and raised $9,300 for the United Way of Bemidji Area.
Commitment to Community, one of the Seven Cooperative Principles, is a driving force behind this event. It is a standard we embrace as an integral element of the cooperative business model. We are proud that we make a difference in our communities and will continue to do so by promoting programs that improve the lives of those who live in the communities we serve.
"Beltrami Electric's Touchstone Energy Golf Tournament has been a staple event for the United Way of Bemidji Area. Not only has the tournament given hundreds of participants the opportunity to support their community, it's also helped thousands of people in our community to thrive. The event has raised nearly $129,000 since its inception. We can't thank Beltrami Electric and their staff enough for the impact their event makes year after year!"
Denae Alamano, Executive Director for the United Way of Bemidji Area
All proceeds from the tournament go to the United Way of Bemidji Area.
Next year's event is scheduled for Friday, August 21, 2020.
