Kody’s Closet is holding its first annual benefit on Saturday, June 1, 6-9 p.m. at the Moose on Monroe, 356 Monroe St. NE. There will also be a golf tournament earlier that day at Columbia Golf Course (registration due May 20; call 612-237-9222 for details). Kody’s Closet is a non-profit organization that helps build self-esteem and improve the lives and futures of our youth by providing hygiene products to underprivileged kids. The group hopes to have a Kody’s Closet filled with personal hygiene products in all area metro schools. Kody’s Closet was created in memory of Kody (Kodiak) Thorn who unexpectedly passed away at age 18. According to the group’s Facebook page, while Kody was in high school, he would casually offer friends in need items from his mom’s storage closet which was filled with products due to her passion of extreme couponing. Whether it was deodorant, toothpaste or soap, Kody’s mother would offer products to those friends whose parents were struggling to make ends meet. Ticket price for the evening event is $20 plus one hygiene product donation (includes dinner and beer until 8 p.m., cash bar available). More information on Facebook or at kodyscloset.org.
