Arkansas Children's Northwest champions gathered Aug. 5-6 for the 27th annual Will Golf 4 Kids Tournament and on Aug. 7 for the 13th annual Color of Hope Gala, which took the form of privately hosted tailgates, rather than a ballroom full of backers. The events helped raise more than $1.36 million to benefit Arkansas Children's Northwest. Organizers say all funds raised will stay local and support hematology and oncology services at the Children's hospital in Northwest Arkansas.
