This year marks the 14th year of the Corey Goodnature Memorial Scholarship Golf Classic.

Created in memory of Chief Warrant Officer Three Corey Goodnature, who was killed while performing a rescue mission in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005, the event raises money for scholarships in Goodnature’s name. 

As of last year, more than $215,000 had been awarded to students graduating from Albert Lea, Glenville-Emmons and Alden-Conger schools from the scholarship, and the event doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
