(KMZA)--The 28th annual Baileyville Benefit Tournament held this past weekend at the Nemaha Central High School was a big success.
Event organizers, Kenny Schmitz and Danny Broxterman, said they had a great turnout despite Saturday’s weather not being the best and raised about $200,000 for four beneficiaries
Proceeds this year will go to Frank Hulsing, Eric Holthaus and Dan Kramer to help with medical expenses due to long term illness. In addition, the proceeds will go to Team Schnak, which helps spread awareness of Type One Diabetes, raises funds for research and helps families cover the expenses of living with the disease.
A two-day basketball and volleyball tournament complete with concession stands and silent auction raised money for the four. The event wrapped up Sunday evening with a live action.
Organizers thanked all those who donated, volunteered, played or purchased items for the great success of this year's benefit.
