The Special Education Foundation is excited to welcome Hankins Construction as a new sponsor for the 23rd Annual Dan McLaughlin Charity Golf Tournament and Auction, taking place Monday, October 13, at Norwood Hills Country Club. Hankins Construction is joining us as one of our Golf Ball Sponsors, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have their support.
Based in St. Louis, Hankins Construction specializes in commercial, industrial, and institutional building—bringing innovation, collaboration, and exceptional quality to every project across the Midwest. Their connection to the Special School District runs deep: Hankins transformed an interior shop space at North Technical High School into a state-of-the-art Dental Sciences teaching lab for SSD students—a standout example of their impactful work in education environments.

But beyond great craftsmanship, what truly distinguishes Hankins is their heartfelt commitment to community. As they share on their site:
“During our projects, we reach out to clients and the surrounding area for any volunteering opportunities, because no one loves construction interferences in their day to day. From our carpenters making and donating little outdoor book sharing libraries, to our office volunteering to set up and work local events. If you have any opportunities for our team, please reach out, as we love to be a part of the surrounding job site communities!”
This spirit of service echoes SEF’s mission: just as Hankins invests in enriching neighborhoods and supporting schools, SEF invests in empowering students with disabilities in the Special School District—through scholarships, assistive technology, our Kid-to-Camp program, and more. Together, we’re constructing a stronger future for these students and their families.
We’re deeply appreciative of Hankins Construction joining us this year as a new partner in our cause. To learn more about their work and community engagement, visit hankinsmidwest.com or follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
And don’t forget—sponsorships are still available, golf spots remain open, and you’re invited to join us for the Happy Hour and Live Auction. Your participation makes a real difference in the lives of students with disabilities.
