 Your Guide to Wills & Trusts

On average, a person works more than forty years to accumulate assets and spends ten years conserving what has been earned but does not spend even two hours to plan for distribution of those assets. The chaos that often occurs following the death of a loved one can be burdensome.  This burden can be eased, however, through proper planning. 

As a service to you, our Foundation has provided Your Guide to Wills & Trusts to help you organize your important information to share your planning quickly, easily and comprehensively with your legal and tax advisors.  A key element of proper planning is a Will, and in some cases also a Trust.  This workbook is designed to encourage you to think about how you want your assets to be distributed at death and assist you in gathering the information your attorney will need to prepare the documents that accomplish your goals.

HRH Foundation Charity Classic Big Hit for Women's Cancer Services

Holy Rosary Healthcare Foundation's 8th Annual Foundation Charity Classic was held Saturday, July 18, at the Miles City Town & Country Club.  It's the region's largest charity golf event with two flights of four-person golf teams and an evening social and dinner open to the public.

As a charity event, 100 percent of all funds raised go to work locally and this year will be used to enhance local access to high-end healthcare services for women living with cancer in eastern Montana.  Individual and business donors and event sponsors generously gave over $22,500 in cash and in-kind gifts to further this local cause.

One hundred eight golfers competed for over $5,000 in team and flag prizes donated from area businesses.  While there have been four hole-in-ones at the Miles City T&C Club so far this year, nobody won the four hole-in-one prizes available at the tournament -- a new car, riding lawn mower, new golf car, and a plasma TV -- from local sponsors Mac's Frontierland, Horizon Implement and Cool Breeze Golf Cars.  

Long-Drive Competition

The Aramark $1000 long-drive competition was definitely the day's favorite event with 15 golfers competing for $1000 cash.  Rock Springs' Warren Venable nailed a 300-yard drive beating out several close competitors including Glendive's Jason Kinsey, with a 295-yard drive and Miles City's Jeff Lee at 290 yards.
