The Poettker Annual Golf Classic, presented by St. Louis-based Poettker Construction and Poettker Industrial Services, raised $61,000 benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwestern Illinois.
The golf classic was held July 25 at Roland Barkau Memorial Golf Course in Okawville, Illinois. Just surpassing its 12th year, Poettker’s annual golf classic has raised over $400,000 in donations for the youth organization.
“Celebrating another successful tournament supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters represents more than just a day on the course,” said Kevin Poettker, vice president of business development at Poettker Construction and BBBSIL board member. “The unwavering support from our sponsors, participants, and volunteers who make this annual event possible continues to exceed our expectations. It’s truly remarkable to witness how our community rallies together year after year to support such a meaningful cause.”
This year, 70 golf teams participated in helping Poettker reach its goal of supporting the mentorship organization. Proceeds will support the BBBSIL mission of assisting children in recognizing their potential and building better futures.
