The 2025 MnFORE Golf Tournament presented by Schmidt & Salita Law Team was a hot and memorable day to enjoy 18 holes in support of firefighter health and wellness – and like previous years, the event was sold out with 144 attendees!
“After seven years of hosting our annual golf tournament, it keeps getting more special and meaningful to see both familiar and new faces from the fire service community gather and rally together,” said Mike Dobesh, president and co-founder of MnFIRE. “It’s an opportunity to not only connect socially but also to shine a light on the critical health needs of firefighters and their families across Minnesota.”
At MnFORE this year, we were also pleased to debut our new video featuring firefighters from across Minnesota sharing their stories about how MnFIRE benefits have impacted them and supported their health and well-being since our inception in 2016. Our goal is to continue the critical support of firefighters who face health issues like cardiac, cancer and emotional trauma.
We greatly appreciate the many golfers, volunteers and generous sponsors who helped make it a successful day at Legends Golf Club in Prior Lake. A special thank you to the Schmidt & Salita Law Team for their support as the title sponsor and our media guest Rena Sarigianopoulos from KARE-11 who attended and recently covered the event and more about MnFIRE.
The funds raised at MnFORE allow us to continue providing critical health and wellness resources and more to Minnesota’s firefighters when they need it most.
Looking ahead, please save the date for July 14, 2026, and join us again at Legends for the eighth annual MnFORE Golf Tournament.
