Because Kolo Charities and the Kowalkowski Open are administered
and organized by an all-volunteer group of dedicated and concerned
individuals, one hundred percent of all sponsorships and the majority of
golfers' fees are contributed to the charities it supports.
The organizations which Kolo
Charities supports benefit immeasurably
throughout the year.
Houghton Lake area businesses and residents
also benefit from the small crowd that gathers in the community
annually.
Since 1991, the organization has contributed
nearly $1,000,000 to
various charities. Kolo Charities now makes major contributions to
Leader Dogs
for the Blind of Rochester, Michigan, as well as the
Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Program of HAVEN, which
serves Oakland County, Michigan, through the Detroit Lions Courage
House.
It also funds the Jack Danieleski Memorial Scholarship,
granted
annually to a deserving student from the Houghton Lake area.
In addition,
each year Kolo Charities chooses a variety of additional
causes to support;
a partial list appears below. In well over a quarter of
a century,
the work of this group truly has changed many lives.
