CCF Hosts 28th Annual Golf Outing
The Chisholm Community Foundation held its 28th annual golf tournament on July 29, 2024 at the Mesaba Country Club, where 118 golfers participated in a great day on the course. A delicious buffet dinner was held at Valentini’s Supper Club after the tourney.
Thank you to all of our corporate partners, hole sponsors, golfers, businesses and individuals who donated prizes, and all the volunteers who gave their time to assist throughout the day and evening. With your help, we raised almost $18,000.00. Special thanks go out to the Chisholm Area Chamber of Commerce for conducting the raffles at the event and donating the proceeds to benefit the CCF and to the City of Chisholm for sponsoring the lunches. Join us next year on Monday, July 28, 2025

Jim’s Sports Club Burger Bash
On October 30, 2024, Jim’s Sports Club hosted a burger bash and donated the proceeds to the CCF. The event was held on the same night as Trick or Treat Down Main Street. Not only did the CCF board dress for the event, but there were a lot of kids and parents who were all dressed up for Halloween and stopped in for a bite. Special thanks go out to Kelly and her crew for all their hard work! We appreciate all you do for the CCF!
Class of 1968 Gives Back!
After celebrating the 50th reunion of the Chisholm Class of 1968, it was decided to donate the remaining fund balance of $1,380 to the Chisholm Community Foundation in appreciation for the good start in life graduates received by living in the community of Chisholm. Our class has had many reunions over the past 50 years. This year’s two-day event, held at Tom & Jerry’s and Valentini’s Supper Club, was described by many as fun, a great time and restorative. It’s good to give back to the town that helped shape who you are! Members of the Class of 1968 are pictured below.
