A Special Note About Sheboygan
Hi All – Wanted to share a quick note about Sheboygan. Sheboygan is a really special town to me! My Great-grandfather, John “Jack” DenBoer, met my Great-grandmother, Carol Trass, there, when she immigrated from the Netherlands with her family. Although I never met him, his spirit (and name) are with me always! Grandpa Jack worked in the foundry in Kohler for over 50 years. Following him, my Grandfather Robert DenBoer also worked in the Foundry, and my father worked nights there when he was home from college; five other family members also worked for the Kohler company! Although I grew up in Waukesha, I consider Sheboygan my “second home” in WI. I have great pride in the city – which is one of the most beautiful and authentic I have ever seen – and a lot of love for the people there.Therefore, it is with a great deal of humility and pride that I am able to give back in this small way to the citizens of Sheboygan County. Thank you to all of you for making the greatest little city by the lake so special!
Our Charities
I’d like to introduce you briefly to our awesome charities: First Tee of Southeast Wisconsin – my friend and fellow golfer, David Cohn, runs this great organization! It is our goal to get as many young golfers out to the course! David is partnering with Golf company. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Sheboygan – Denise Wittstock is the fabulous director. We are happy to partner with them to get more funds to this very fabulous and much-needed organization. I am happy to be a volunteer with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Milwaukee and enjoy serving in this capacity. Food Bank of Sheboygan – I just met Patrick Boyle, Director – Patrick is a great guy serving an important mission – getting impoverished citizens of Sheboygan the food they need!
Thank You!
A Brief Thank You to the following people for all their help in setting this up! A special thanks to the golf course staff and Director of Golf Mike O’Reilly for setting up tee times and schedule us appropriately to get our rounds completed!
Excited to Get Started on this Journey
I am so excited to raise money for kids who need it! Following Maslow’s hierarchy of needs I believe we need to first feed and clothe all individuals in need, then provide food and shelter, and – once this is achieved – provide great experiences for them! I am excited to partner with the prestigious Golf Company in this mission!
