Like many non-profits, the Tapemark Charity Pro-Am relies on the generosity of its sponsors to make the event a success. We are fortunate to have many wonderful sponsors who support not only the tournament, but Tapemark’s mission of providing all Minnesotans, regardless of ability, an environment where they can live, work and play in their own communities with dignity, hope and respect.

One of our sponsors is Anderson Agency, a Minneapolis-based independent insurance agency. Shaun Irwin, president of Anderson Agency, says the reason he has supported Tapemark for the past six years is because of the collaborative effort of people from the community to help those in need.

“Just like Anderson Agency protects families and business so they can fulfill their dreams, the Tapemark helps those organizations that provide a safe environment for people with disabilities so they can also fulfill their dreams,” says Irwin.

And although Irwin describes himself as, at best, an excellent “social golfer”, he loves the history of commitment and competition of the Tapemark Charity Pro-Am. According to Irwin, he has never played in a tournament that compares with Tapemark, which is why he and the Anderson Agency will continue to support it well into the future.

“Helping the community is a part of everyone’s role here, and it’s something I feel fortunate to get to do.”
