About the Organization
Community Benefit Tree (CBT) is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization - our mission is to empower families to
effectively navigate medical debt by encompassing, finances, fundraising, education, resources and spiritual
well-being.
The Community Benefit Tree was established in 2004. It started as a labor of love after hosting the Wolfinger Charity Golf Outing in memory of Lawrence (Larry) Wolfinger who passed away at the age of 54 from a heart attack. The committee of the first golf outing decided to give the proceeds from that event to a family whose daughter was a diabetic and needed a glass eye which the family could not afford. After the first golf outing, the committee decided to continue giving the proceeds of the event to more individuals and their families that were struggling financially because of medical crisis. After 12 years of planning the golf outing, Heidi Frederickson (daughter of Larry Wolfinger) and Karla Wolfinger (wife of Larry Wolfinger) saw the increasing need in the community and were led by the grace of God to help out more families struggling with a medical crisis. This was the beginning of Community Benefit Tree, Inc.
