It was a perfect day filled with sunshine and blue skies for the 43rd annual Weld Legacy Foundation Golf Tournament held on Monday, June 9, 2025 at the Greeley Country Club. Over $32,000 in net proceeds will benefit the Heart Safe City program. Golfers, sponsors, and volunteers participated in the popular double shotgun scramble.
In 2013, Greeley became the second city in Colorado to officially earn the Heart Safe City distinction. The Heart Safe City designation is a community-wide effort to educate citizens about the dangers of sudden cardiac arrest. Identifying symptoms, learning how to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and using automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are major components of the Heart Safe City designation. The Heart Safe City initiative called for the placement of AEDs in public gathering spots throughout our community. These easy-to-use AEDs are equipped with simple step-by-step user instructions.
Taking home top honors from the tournament was the Pawnee Waste team, consisting of Casey Lauer, Nagi Lam, and Grant Rose.
The Weld Legacy Foundation, founded in 1975, has served as a philanthropic partner in supporting healthcare in the community. During that time, the Foundation has been entrusted with over $50 million in charitable gifts.
