Dear Friends,

When you participate in the Ben & Adith Miller Classic on Monday, August 9,
you will play golf on one of the most scenic courses in the region while making a difference
in the lives of families in the Winona area.

Every day, Winona Health cares for patients who need medical care but can’t afford it.
Unexpected medical bills can significantly impact the financial well-being of a family and cause
extended hardship. For the past 35 years, the Ben & Adith Miller Patient Care Fund has provided
financial relief to these people and their families.

The annual Ben & Adith Miller Classic raises funds for the Winona Health Ben & Adith Miller Patient
Care Fund. In fiscal year 2020, you helped 530 people with $796,985 in financial assistance. That is
remarkable generosity...and greatly appreciated by those recipients.

Here is a recent thank you note:
Words cannot begin to express what this wonderful gift means to me. Thank
you to all of the donors that make this assistance possible. I was stressed and
worried how I could afford my hospital bill after insurance covered very little
of my total bill balance. The assistance from the Ben and Adith Miller Patient
Care Fund brought me relief and most of all, financial peace. Thank you so
very much for your kindness and support during this difficult time.

If you are a returning golfer, welcome back to this special charity event. If you are new to our
tournament, thank you for joining us. Enclosed please find more information about sponsorships,
registration, and this year’s featured pro golfer, Nancy Lopez. See you on Monday, August 9 at
beautiful Cedar Valley Golf Course.

About Nancy Lopez
Nancy Lopez became a member of the LPGA Tour in 1977 and won 48 LPGA Tour events during her LPGA career, including three major
championships.
She won the New Mexico Women’s Amateur at age 12, and the U.S. Girls’ Junior in 1972 and 1974, at ages 15 and 17, respectively. Playing in the
U.S. Women’s Open as an 18-year-old amateur in 1975, she finished tied for second. In 1976, Nancy was named All-American and Female Athlete
of the Year for her play at the University of Tulsa. She won the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) National Championship
and was a member of the U.S. Curtis Cup and World Amateur teams. She left college after her sophomore year and turned pro in 1977. That year
she finished second again in the U.S. Women’s Open.
In 1978, her first full season on the LPGA Tour, Nancy won nine tournaments, including at one stretch, five tournaments in a row. She appeared
on the cover of Sports Illustrated, won the Vare Trophy for lowest scoring average, LPGA Rookie of the Year, LPGA Player of the Year and was
named the Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year. She won another eight times in 1979. She won multiple times in each year from 1980 to
1984, although she played only half-seasons in 1983 and 1984 due to the birth of her first child.
Playing full-time again in 1985, Nancy posted five wins, five seconds and five thirds, won the money title, the scoring title and the Player of the
Year Award. She was also named Associate Press Female Athlete of the Year for a second time. She played only four tournaments in 1986, when
her second daughter was born. But came back to win multiple times in 1987-89 - three times each in 1988 and 1989 - and once again won
Player of the Year honors in 1988. Her schedule was curtailed again in the early 1990s when her third daughter was born. In 1992 she won twice.
She continued to play short schedules — from 11 to 18 tournaments — through 2002.
Nancy was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1987. She was a member of the United States Solheim Cup team in 1990 and was captain
of the team in 2005. She retired from regular tournament play in 2002, and then attempted a return in 2007 and 2008.
Nancy is the only woman to win LPGA Rookie of the Year, Player of the Year, and the Vare Trophy in the same season (1978). Her company, Nancy
Lopez Golf, makes a full line of women’s clubs, clothing and accessories. In 2014, Nancy started Nancy Lopez Golf Adventures to share her love of
golf instilled by her father Domingo with golfers of all ages and skill levels.
Nancy has three wonderful daughters and two beautiful grandchildren named Molly and Hunter.
