The Karen's Hope Ataxia Benefit is a charity golf tournament, silent auction and dinner to benefit the Bob Allison Ataxia Research Center (BAARC) at the University of Minnesota, an affiliate of the Minnesota Medical Foundation.
Karen Frigstad and her family.
We would like to thank all participants, donors and volunteers who helped make this year's event another huge success. We raised $35,200 in addition to a generous $20,000 donation from our Guardian Angel, Connie Bakken. Our nine year total is now over $500,000 for ataxia research!
Pictures from this year's event can be found here.
Karen is an author! Her children's book, "Princess Hair", has recently been published and is on sale at Amazon.com. The book will also be for sale at the event this year and Karen would love to sign as many copies as possible!
