The North Dakota Veterans Home Foundation, Inc. has announced the return of its annual golf tournament, scheduled for June 5, 2026, at the Maple River Golf Club. The event serves as one of the Foundation’s key fundraisers, helping build a permanent endowment dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for residents of the North Dakota Veterans Home.
