Upcoming Events
May 30, 2026
Golf Tournament
Team Sign-Ups will open on Saturday, April 4th at 8am for the 8th Annual Ride-On fore Carrie Golf Tournament.
Please be sure to spread the word as this full day of fun and fundraising will sell out quickly as it has the last few years and we have no doubt that this year's event will be no different as we're only signing up 30 teams (120 players). Same as years past, each player will have an opportunity to compete for hole prizes on over nine holes. One of which includes a chance for a 'Hole-in-One' shot to win a cool $10,000.
Highlighting the day will again be the RO4C 'After-Partee' at Mama G's with raffles, live and silent auctions, music and AYCD beer wristbands. It's always the perfect way to cap off a great day of golfing, fun, and raising money for families in need throughout our community.
For our 2026 golf outing, all golf proceeds raised by the RO4C will be donated to two worthy children in need and will be split evenly between cancer warriors Arnie Ogdeb and Michael Nordhausen ~ Here are their stories:
Arnie Ogdeb (4-Years-Old)
April 2025 is when Arnold’s cancer journey began after this active, then 3 year-old, developed a limp while playing with neighborhood friends. Initial tests suggested a common childhood injury or viral inflammation, but his pain and fevers worsened, leading to multiple emergency room visits. After further testing, doctors discovered a tumor and Arnold was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer.
Arnold began treatment immediately, undergoing central line placement and five rounds of chemotherapy, including immunotherapy. On his fourth birthday, he endured a 13.5-hour surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible. Since then, Arnold has completed stem cell transplants, radiation therapy, and numerous hospital and clinic visits. Recent scans show the remaining tumor has decreased in size. Arnold will continue immunotherapy at Children’s Minnesota for several more months as he courageously works toward completing his complicated treatment journey.
Michael Nordhausen (4-Years-Old)
Having just turned four on March 24, Michael's world revolves around dinosaurs and monster trucks. Bright and curious, he amazes nurses by naming his medications, helping check vitals, and proudly calling the port in his chest his “superhero patch.”
On March 12, 2025, after several days of fever and unusual purple spots, Michael was rushed to Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis. That night, his family received devastating news: he had B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common form of childhood leukemia. Over the past year, Michael has endured chemotherapy, spinal procedures, transfusions, hospital stays, and countless treatments as part of a long 2½-year journey. He has celebrated victories, including remission, while facing setbacks and complications. Despite pain, fatigue, and difficult days, Michael’s strength and spirit shine through. On good days, he plays hard, shares his love of dinosaurs, and lights up the room with his smile—reminding everyone around him what true courage looks like.
