The Swing Big with GBIG Golf Outing was a smashing success with 217 golfers and 46 Hole Sponsors. We had outstanding weather with excellent networking opportunities for all.
Congratulations to C.G. Bretting Manufacturing Company. The foursome won the tournament for a second year in a row with a score of 54.
The biggest winners are the nonprofit organizations that will benefit from the golf outing. Green Bay Innovation Group raised approximately $41,500 to give to nonprofit organizations. Recipients include:
- Trees for Tomorrow, an environmental education center founded by the pulp and paper industry
- Valley Packaging Industries (VPI), an organization offering community programs, packaging solutions, and employment to people with disabilities or disadvantages
- Apricity, a residential treatment facility for men and women struggling with drug and alcohol addition in the Fox Cities
- St. John’s Ministries, an organization creating lasting change for those experiencing homelessness or housing instability in the Green Bay area
- Food pantries, educational programs, and other nonprofit organizations
Amundsen-Davis raised $400 from ticket sales, and we had over $800 from raffle ticket sales. Thanks for your generosity!
