Hospital announced earlier as one of the three pillar
charities
3M Open officials announced today that the Science Museum of
Minnesota and National Park Foundation will receive donations from
the 3M Open Fund. The support will help the Science Museum of
Minnesota fulfill its mission of science, education, and equity.
The grant to the National Park Foundation will support a variety of
national park programs for kids across the state of Minnesota,
inspiring the next generation of outdoor stewards. Earlier, it was
announced that the tournament will assist the University of
Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital. These gifts and support are
made possible through the newly established 3M Open Fund that seeks
to celebrate Minnesota community charities, who improve the lives
of children and young adults through science-based education and
youth development programs.
The 3M Open, a premier stop on the PGA TOUR, will take place the
first week of July at the TPC Twin Cities. One of its primary goals
is to enhance the quality of life in the community.
The Science Museum’s main goal is to share the power and
potential of science.
“The Science Museum is thrilled to be a part of the inaugural 3M
Open,” said Alison Rempel Brown, president and CEO of the Science
Museum of Minnesota. “Science is everywhere, and the golf course is
no exception. From the biomechanics of the players’ swings to the
engineering of their equipment, science is at the heart of the
game. We’re grateful to 3M for their longstanding support of our
mission to share the power and potential of science, and we’re
looking forward to bringing our signature brand of science
education and engagement to the tournament.”
National Park Foundation, the official nonprofit partner of the
National Park Service, raises private funds to help protect more
than 84 million acres of national parks through critical
conservation and preservation efforts and to connect all Americans
with their incomparable natural landscapes, vibrant culture, and
rich history.
“The 3M Open’s support bolsters the National Park Foundation’s
critical work to expand the community of national park
champions,” said Stefanie Mathew, vice president of corporate
partnerships at the National Park Foundation. “Connecting kids
and young adults to parks opens up a whole new world of
opportunities for them and helps to inspire the next generation to
care for these treasured places.”
The University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital saves
lives and changes outcomes for thousands of children in Minnesota
and around the world.
Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph, a champion for University of
Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital, will extend his role to
become an official ambassador for the 3M Open. As part of his
activities, Rudolph will compete in the Wednesday Pro-Am as well as
visit with patrons, corporate partners and PGA TOUR players
throughout the week.
“The 3M Open is truly golf that matters,” said Denise
Rutherford, 3M’s senior vice president of corporate affairs. “Not
only does this tournament feature the world’s best golfers, but
more importantly it’s a platform to make a positive impact in our
community.”
“These three organizations are exceptional in what they do to
make our community, region and places beyond a better place for us
all,” said Peter Mele, 3M Open Tournament Director. “As we prepare
to bring the best PGA TOUR players in the world to our community,
we have this opportunity to assist others thanks to the support of
the fans, the nearly 2,000 volunteers and numerous corporate
partners of the 3M Open. This is one of our main objectives
throughout the year, not just one week.”
