We are now just a few days away from the 21st Annual Dan McLaughlin Charity Golf Tournament and Auction, and there are still plenty of opportunities to be part of this event!
While the deadline to donate through payroll deduction has passed, there is still time for SSD staff to participate in the SEF's Kid-to-Camp Challenge by donating on our website.
When $50 is donated, you receive Pretzel Boys coupons (a local favorite!); $100 will earn a one-of-a-kind SEF T-shirt that coincides with the theme of this year's tournament, "Get in the Spirit"; donors of $250 or more receive a $25 gift certificate to the Giannino's Restaurant group.
Thank you to the more than 230 SSD staff who have already donated over $13,000 to support SEF and help send kids to camp!
Purchase raffle tickets for your chance to win 100 Missouri Lotto Scratch-Offs. The SSD school that sells the most raffle tickets will win a delicious lunch provided by the Special Education Foundation and the Red Apple Trophy!
