About the Annual Dan McLaughlin Charity Golf Tournament & Auction
For more than two decades, the Dan McLaughlin Charity Golf Tournament & Auction has been one of the Special Education Foundation’s most anticipated fundraising events. Each year, community members, corporate partners, and supporters come together for a day of golf, giving, and goodwill—all to help students with disabilities served by the Special School District of St. Louis County.
Hosted at Norwood Hill Country Club, one of the area’s premier golf courses, the event features a lively tournament, an exciting live auction, a robust silent auction, and the opportunity to make a direct impact through the Fund-A-Need program. Proceeds from the tournament support the Foundation’s mission to empower students with disabilities—providing resources, equipment, and opportunities that help them reach their full potential.
What began as a day on the golf course has grown into one of the Special Education Foundation’s most impactful fundraising traditions. From mobility equipment and hearing aids to social skill development and classroom innovation grants, the proceeds from this event make a tangible difference in students’ lives every year.
With the continued support of our sponsors, donors, and volunteers, this event has raised millions of dollars to help children achieve greater independence and success in school and in life. Whether you’re on the course, bidding from home, or making a donation, your participation drives real change for extraordinary students.
