Dexter, Missouri - The good works of the 18 Fore Life group continues to be felt throughout the Dexter community and surrounding areas.  The group has quickly become one of the most diversified charities in the area with events ranging from bowling tournaments to crappie fishing tournaments to the annual Ben Kruse 18 Fore Life Golf Tournament.  But it doesn't stop there. 

For the first time this year, the Ben Kruse 18 Fore Life Carnival was held in June.  With only a few days to prepare and to spread the word, many area residents came out to enjoy the rides, carnival food, and games in support of the charity. 

The event was sponsored by the local businesses of Montgomery Bank, County Wide Insurance Agency, and the ShowMe Times. 

A portion of the proceeds were donated by the carnival group to the charity.  In all, the four day event raised over $3,800.00 for the charity.  These funds will be put to immediate use by the charity in helping area people and families that are dealing with cancer.

"18 Fore Life has been able to give away over $100,000.00 since June of this year," says Scott Kruse.  "... and we still have names of the list."
