Over $50,000 Raised At JGM Properties Ninth Annual Golf Tournament For Wildlife Rehabilitation Center

Property management company, JGM Properties, host of the ninth annual golf tournament on June 26 at Southern Hills Golf Course, raised $50,486, breaking last year’s record of $44,000. All proceeds are donated to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota, (WRC.)

JGM Properties was founded in 1980 and owns and manages 24 suburban Minneapolis warehouse, and office space properties. JGM Properties works with over 300 tenants to provide office, warehouse, and retail space for lease in Minnesota. 

For the past nine years, JGM Properties has hosted an annual golf tournament in the Minneapolis metro area to raise money for the WRC and other charitable causes. The event is held yearly at Southern Hills Golf Course, in Farmington, MN. The course is a beautiful 18-hole, par 71 course measuring over 6,300 yards and includes a clubhouse and patio.

“We (JGM Properties) are so fortunate to have such generous friends to make these events a success. We’re thrilled that we’ve been able to raise more money and break our prior records year after year. This would never be possible without having such caring people involved,” says Jay Mutschler, President of JGM Properties.

This year sold $900 in raffle prizes donated by tenants, $32,087 contributed by hole sponsors, and $17,499 raised from the participants in entrance fees, raffle tickets, silent auction purchases, tips, and hole contests. One-hundred percent of the proceeds went to WRC, a hospital for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife.

The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota (WRC) is located in Roseville, MN and is a nonprofit, donor-supported organization. The WRC was established in response to the increased need for medical care of injured, ill and orphaned wildlife.

With a medical staff of 8, the Center is one of the largest and busiest wildlife medical centers in the nation. More than 600 volunteers care for, rehabilitate and release the wildlife that they've worked with. The WRC treats more than 9,000 wild animals every year, representing more than 185 different species.
