The 23rd Annual Dan McLaughlin Charity Golf Tournament & Auction is almost here, and there’s still time to join the fun! Mark your calendar for Monday, October 13th at Norwood Hills Country Club, where you and your foursome can enjoy a day of golf, food, camaraderie, and giving back.

By registering to play, you’re not only securing a spot in one of St. Louis’s most anticipated charity tournaments—you’re also helping the Special Education Foundation (SEF) continue its mission of supporting students with disabilities served by the Special School District of St. Louis County (SSD).

What’s in Store on Tournament Day

From the moment you arrive, the day is designed with golfers in mind. Kick things off with a delicious brunch provided by Norwood Hills Country Club, complete with golfer gifts and Shorty’s Putting Contest to get the competition started early. Then it’s on to the beautiful East and West courses for a shotgun start, where you’ll find local vendors at nearly every hole offering food, drinks, and fun surprises along the way. On-course contests will keep the excitement high, all while you enjoy plenty of time to relax and connect with friends and colleagues.

After the final putt drops, the celebration continues with our Happy Hour and Live Auction—a highlight of the day. Bid on exciting items and unforgettable experiences, such as a Bourbon Tasting Class or tickets to the Green Bay Packers versus the Baltimore Ravens, while enjoying great food and drinks.

Why Your Participation Matters

This tournament is SEF’s largest fundraiser of the year, and every dollar raised directly impacts students with disabilities. Proceeds support programs like Kid-to-Camp, which provides safe and enriching camp experiences during school breaks, and Classroom Innovation Grants, which equip teachers with creative tools and resources to help students thrive.

Be Part of the Impact

We’re calling on you—our valued supporters—to rally your friends, family, or coworkers and register a foursome today. Spots are limited, and we don’t want you to miss this unforgettable day of golf and giving.

Not a golfer? You can still join us for the Happy Hour and Live Auction, where every bid helps create brighter futures for special education students in our community.

Don’t miss your chance to make a difference while enjoying a beautiful day at Norwood Hills Country Club and supporting these amazing students!
