Kickin’ Cancer in the Cornhole II doubles the success of inaugural event

September 29, 2021 by Kelly Grinsteinner

Members of the Kickin’ Cancer in the Cornhole II Committee included (from left): Josh Shain, Nicole Freeman, Angela Zavodnik, Shannon Petroske, Robin Cicmil, Meghan Hodge, Alex Stark, Kelly Grinsteinner, Matt Anderson, Kelsey Unger and Billy Unger.

HIBBING – A total of 45 teams tossed bean bags in front of Palmer’s Tavern on Sept. 18 for Kickin’ Cancer in the Cornhole II a FUNdraiser for Angel Fund.

We had no snow this year, but everyone had a fabulous time! Double elimination play began at 11 a.m. and wrapped up around 6 p.m.

The top three winning teams were: Team J2 Jason Fillman and Jay Woodman, who took home $500; “The Seekers” Alex Stark and Brady Stahl once again earned second place and took home $300; and taking third was Matt Borgman and Vern Fillman of Mat & Vern, who took home $100. Congrats at all!

Players received a Palmer’s burger with their entry fee and all attendees had the opportunity to participate in raffles, Lucky Libations, Split the Pot, Cut the Deck for a mystery Yeti and the-ever-so-popular Long Toss.

All told, the event raised more than $12,000 for area cancer patients! That’s more than double what was raised last year.

Angel Fund is ever so grateful to all who participated, donated and stopped by to support the fund!

Angel Fund hits jackpot through partnership with Fortune Bay

April 26, 2021 by Kelly Grinsteinner


From left, Angel Fund Director Katie Finch, Secretary Kari Kilen, President Kelly Grinsteinner and Director Bobbi Jo VonAlman accept the donation from Fortune Bay.

When Fortune Bay was petitioned to become a Rock for An Angel sponsor, their director of sales and public relations knew that donating items as they have done every year for the event wasn’t going to fly this year.

Without an event, the only option was a cash sponsorship. But instead of focusing too long on what they couldn’t do, he proposed a new, creative option – the Ticket In Ticket Out promotion to benefit Angel Fund.

“When Brian K. Anderson of Fortune Bay contacted us in response to our Rock for an Angel campaign appeal, I anticipated it being just a courtesy call,” said Angel Fund President Kelly Grinsteinner. “However, when he mentioned this new plan of using a promotional box to raise monies I was surprised and stoked — what a creative way of not only raising funds, but also raising awareness of Angel Fund and our mission. We applaud Fortune Bay for the innovative idea and are honored to have been the first nonprofit recipient.”

Between mid-February through the end of March, Fortune Bay set up a promotional box near the main entrance of the casino. Guests were encouraged to put their cash out ticket in the box or leave a cash donation to assist the Angel Fund’s efforts. Fortune Bay also generously tossed in $500 in seed money.

Earlier this month, Anderson delivered a big check (literally and figuratively) to Angel Fund Board Directors. Fortune Bay and its guests raised an amazing $2,813.39! Board members were speechless and humbled.

“This is simply phenomenal! We can’t thank Fortune Bay and its guests enough for their contributions and support,” said Grinsteinner. “The donation will allow Angel Fund to provide financial assistance and a sense of hope to several Northeastern Minnesota residents battling cancer. Fortune Bay and its guests’ rock! Because of you, area cancer patients are the real winners!”
