The Poettker Annual Golf Classic, presented by Poettker Construction and Poettker Industrial, raised $59,000 at its annual golf classic, benefitting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwestern Illinois (BBBSIL). The golf classic was held on Friday, July 26, 2024, at Roland Barkau Memorial Golf Course in Okawville, Ill. Now in its tenth year, Poettker’s annual golf classic has raised $339,000 in donations for the youth organization.
“Marking the tenth year of the golf classic to support Big Brothers Big Sisters’ mission is an incredible milestone,” said Kevin Poettker, vice president of business development and BBBSIL board member. “The continued generosity from everyone who makes this event possible, including friends, family, business partners, sponsors, and event participants, has been outstanding.”
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.
“We are sincerely grateful for the support that comes from Poettker’s annual golf classic,” said Brianna Anderson, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwestern Illinois. “The contributions from the tournament help us to offer mentorship to the youth in the Southwest Illinois community, making a meaningful difference in the lives of the children we support.”
Since 2001, the organization has matched over 1,000 elementary and middle school students in Clinton, Madison, Monroe, and St. Clair counties with a Big Brother or Big Sister mentor.
