Dexter, Missouri - Thanks to golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and family as well as the amazing community who provide support and are generous with donations, the 18FORE Life grass roots charity organization was able to send out $87,000 in Love Offerings today.

That's 87 families fighting against cancer!  18FORE Life also reached an amazing goal!  They have now surpassed their $2 millionth dollar totaling $2,026,000.00.  What a truly dedicated charity!!

It all began in 1999 as a way for good friends to get together and do something good for others in the community.  Today, it has given hope and a helping hand to those fighting cancer.

This extraordinary weekend is here and it all begins tonight with a banquet to dedicate the memory of Ben Kruse, who together with his brother Scott, and some friends, wanted to do something great to genuinely help people in need.

When Ben’s life was tragically cut short in August of 2004, his work was carried on through his brother and all who came together on that first weekend so many years ago. 

The Ben Kruse 18FORE Life Foundation has now given over two million dollars in love offers thanks to the kind and generous donations of people in our community.
