The Special Education Foundation (SEF) is proud to shine a spotlight on one of our Platinum Sponsors for the 22nd Annual Dan McLaughlin Charity Golf Tournament and Auction: Custom Coatings. This esteemed commercial coating and painting company, which has been steadfast in the industry since the early 2000s and a major vendor of the Special School District, exemplifies dedication and community spirit.
Custom Coatings' journey with SEF began through a personal connection. Brad Hagemeyer, the company's founder, was introduced to SEF by Dennis Buhr, the late husband of our previous Executive Director, Diane Buhr Engelsmann. This introduction sparked a relationship that would span decades and deeply impact our organization.
Brad Hagemeyer's commitment to SEF was immediate and profound. Serving on our board of directors for ten years, Brad's involvement was the catalyst for Custom Coatings' continued support of the Dan McLaughlin Charity Golf Tournament. Under his leadership, the company became a steadfast partner, contributing not only financial support but also hands-on involvement.
Today, Custom Coatings continues its legacy of generosity and community engagement under the ownership of Brad’s wife, Sara Hagemeyer. Sara, along with their daughters Brittany Porzel and Alexis Parrish, has been actively involved with SEF, particularly in supporting the annual golf tournament. Their dedication is a testament to the Hagemeyer family’s commitment to making a difference in the lives of children with special needs.
