Here are the top stories today in Concord: The 2021 Hope 100 Golf Marathon raised $155,217 for its namesake hospice organization. This was the highest amount raised in the event's six-year history. Funds raised went toward Hope Hospice's patient-care services and grief support center, as well as a range of free educational programs for the local public. 36 players played 100 holes of golf, each. Some paid their own $2,500 player fees, while others sought sponsorships to cover the cost or solicited donations to bolster their fundraising totals.
