Pulte Homes golf tournament drives support for building industry nonprofit

The 14th annual Pulte Group Charity Golf Tournament teed off on July 17 at Dwan Golf Course in Bloomington, bringing together more than 144 golfers to support the Housing First Minnesota Foundation’s mission to build much-needed housing for homeless Minnesotans.

Following the 18-hole scramble, participants gathered in the clubhouse to enjoy a live and silent auction, accompanied by a selection of delicious food.

“This year’s tournament exceeded all expectations,” said Jamie Tharp, division president of PulteGroup, Inc. “Coming together as partners for an afternoon to support such a worthy cause highlights the incredible people in the Twin Cities’ building industry. For the PulteGroup team, this event is especially meaningful, and achieving a new milestone this summer makes it all the more memorable.”

The tournament raised nearly 25,000 this year, pushing the cumulative total raised by the Pulte tournaments to over $250,000. These funds directly support the Housing First Minnesota Foundation’s projects aimed at creating housing solutions for those experiencing homelessness.

“We are incredibly thankful for the continued partnership, support and generous funds raised through this year’s Pulte tournament,” said Sofia Humphries, executive director of the Housing First Minnesota Foundation. “Partnerships like this enable us to deliver concrete housing solutions as we continue to make an impact on homelessness in Minnesota.”
