Tahoe Fund wins cash at golf tourney

The Tahoe Fund has $5,000 more in the bank thanks to Mark Rypien and Korbel.

Rypien, a former NFL quarterback, on July 18 competed in the Korbel Closest-to-the-Pin Challenge as part of the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe. Teeing off from hole 17 he placed his ball 7 feet from the pin.

Korbel Toast Life Foundation put up the money for the donation. The Tahoe Fund is a nonprofit working to improvement the Lake Tahoe environment through restoration and recreation projects.
