FORE Golf Classic 2010

"FORE! 2010 Golf Classic—the Good News and the Bad News


The good news: this event sold out even earlier than in years past. We allow our continuing sponsors the first opportunity to renew their sponsorships and their golf packages each year, and they did so early this year.

The bad news: this event sold out even earlier than in years past. We regret that we have disappointed many people who wanted to golf with us this year, but are thrilled again to deliver an event that is so well received!

Our sponsors annually and generously provide the support for this event which, since 2004, has raised over $430,000 in net proceeds to support initiatives important to the delivery of exceptional patient care at OMC.

Thank you for your interest in being part of this fun and worthwhile event! Please visit the 2010 FORE! Golf Classic page today by clicking here."

Marketable securities

Appreciated stock that has been held for at least one year is one of the most popular assets used for charitable giving. A gift of appreciated stock is mutually beneficial, because you help OMC and realize financial benefits for yourself as well.

Charitable bequests

Estate gifts to OMC Regional Foundation may be easily and confidentially arranged through a codicil, which is an amendment to an existing will.

To make a general, unrestricted bequest, your will or codicil might state: "I give and bequeath to OMC Regional Foundation, in Rochester, MN, a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code, the sum of $______ for its general uses and purposes."

Bequests may also be stated as a residual percentage of the estate after other obligations are met, and they can be directed to specific programs and purposes.

Life income gifts

There are many types of estate planning vehicles that can enable you to plan for your future, your loved ones, and your favorite charities. Your estate attorney and financial advisor can help you identify the best assets to use for a planned gift arrangement that benefits you with decreased tax burden and increased income for your and/or your heirs.

We would love to talk with you about your intended gift so we understand your intent and wishes and provide the best possible stewardship of your gift. Please contact Stacey Vanden Heuvel at 507.292.7200 for more information.
