Harold Koplar, founder of The Lodge of Four Seasons, established the annual HK’s golf tournament in 1979. The event has raised more than $3.9 million since its start.

“Our community is blessed to have an exceptional heart program right here at Lake Regional, and ensuring access to the latest heart care technology and advancements is essential,” said Peter Brown Sr. of Four Seasons Companies and chairperson of the HK’s committee. “We thank the Kansas City Chiefs Ambassadors for their continued support, with a special thanks to Keith Cash for serving as the event’s honorary chair.”
