Groovin’ on the Green, Ridgeview Foundation’s Two-Day Community Event, Returns June 22-23

Waconia, Minn.— May 13, 2025 – Ridgeview Foundation’s popular two-day fundraising event is back. Tickets are now on sale for Groovin’ on the Green, June 22-23. Formerly known as the Golf & Taste Celebration, this event has a new name and some exciting changes, but the same great cause of supporting Ridgeview so local health care remains accessible. Proceeds will help support Ridgeview’s Cardiovascular services.  
 
Festivities begin on Sunday, June 22 with a community concert by Chase & Ovation, a Prince tribute band at the Winery at Sovereign Estate in Waconia, part of their Vintage Concert Series. Prior to the 8 p.m. concert, guests can enjoy food and beverages for purchase from local restaurants including the Winery at Sovereign Estate, Winchester & Rye, Iron Tap, D’Vinci’s and Vandy’s, and also participate in games and activities that benefit Ridgeview Foundation.
 On Monday, June 23, people are invited to golf at Island View Golf Club in Waconia for Ridgeview Foundation’s annual golf tournament. Community members are encouraged to gather their foursomes for a  morning or afternoon tournament. Golfers will be entertained by a variety of contests on the course, including a hole-in-one, longest putt, closest to the pin and timed hole contest. High-end tee gifts are also a highlight of the event.
“Keeping health care close to home is more important than ever, and our community continues to rise to the occasion,” said Kelly Mulleady, Executive Director of Ridgeview Foundation. “The incredible support we received at last year’s event shows just how deeply people care about ensuring their families, friends and neighbors can access advanced care without traveling far. That generosity is what powers Ridgeview’s ability to invest in lifesaving technology and deliver exceptional care right here in our region.”
 The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal has named the Ridgeview Golf & Taste Celebration one of the most successful golf charity events in the Twin Cities.
