The Celebrity Golf Classic, which enjoyed a record fundraising year, was officially sponsored by Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network and provided participants the opportunity to play with a member of the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame and/or other sports celebrities at Norwoods Golf Club in Hannibal. To date, the Golf Classic has raised over $400,000 to support local healthcare through the Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation.

The Foundation was also pleased to offer the annual Shoeless Joe's Celebrity Night at the Ballpark on June 9, with over twenty sports celebrities at the Hannibal Cavemen game at Clemens Field. Among the celebrities to attend were former MU and St. Louis Cardinals football players Johnny Roland and Mel Gray, former MU and Oakland Raider player Gus Otto and former Cleveland Indian Scott Bailes.
