The countdown is on for the 23rd Annual Dan McLaughlin Charity Golf Tournament and Auction, and we want YOU to be part of this impactful day! Join us on Monday, October 13, 2025, at Norwood Hills Country Club for a day of golf, giving, and community, all supporting the more than 22,000 students with disabilities served by the Special School District (SSD) of St. Louis County.

The Special Education Foundation (SEF) relies entirely on private donations to fund critical programs that help students thrive—programs that go beyond what tax dollars provide. This event helps fund everything from summer camp scholarships to classroom technology, emergency needs, and more.
