Summary
Noah Dingels, 11, and Cole Dingels, 8, have raised $60,000 for Tee It Up for the Troops since starting a lemonade stand at an Eden Prairie golf tournament five years ago.
Their first year brought in $359, and the stand has since expanded beyond lemonade to candy bars and golf balls, with local sponsors and community supporters helping boost donations.
Tee It Up for the Troops says the money supports veterans through six programs including PTSD and traumatic brain injury care, suicide prevention, housing, employment and family support.
The Minnesota-based nonprofit, founded in 2005, says it has raised more than $19 million, helped 400,000 military families and has 45 tournaments scheduled this year.
