Glendale 2021 Fund for Leaders Golf Classic raises $40,000

133 golfers descended on Arrowhead Country Club this past November 15, both to enjoy a round of golf and to celebrate the Fund for Leaders.

$40,000 was raised for the 25+ candidates for ministry within the Grand Canyon Synod, after an inspired supporter of this Fund for Leaders program matched $20,000.

Kirk Anderson, Chair of the 2021 Fund for Leaders Golf Classic, said, "We did it! We are grateful, for this donor and many, many other donors and golfers who helped."

The Rev. Jacqueline Pagel, Associate to the Bishop for Candidacy and Faith Formation, was there to give the crowd a glimpse of her joy to work with, learn from, and come to love these seminarians. "We are blessed as a Synod to have so many candidates eager to serve God's Church," said Pastor Jacqui.
