Each year, the Dan McLaughlin Charity Golf Tournament and Auction combines a beautiful day of golf with fellowship, friends, and the generosity of hundreds of people willing to support SEF’s mission of assisting students with disabilities in St. Louis County.
There’s still time to sponsor or put together a group to join us for our 24th charity event on Monday, October 12, 2026, at Norwood Hills Country Club.
One of the highlights of the event is our live and silent auctions, where friends of the Special Education Foundation bid on dozens of items, with the proceeds supporting students who receive services from the Special School District.
Here’s a sampling of two items coming in our auction:
- One of our Silent Auction items is the “Road-Ready Auto & Fuel Bundle,” which gives you everything you need to keep your car looking great and running strong! Keep your phone secure with a WeatherTech CupFone, organize your cabin and trunk with a dedicated trunk organizer and seat pocket, and clean up messes on the go with a portable wet/dry vacuum. Plus, enjoy $50 toward gas or snacks at QT!
- For our live auction, we have a great experience for you with “Bourbon, Barrels & Bites: The Exclusive Nobletons Tour & Lunch for 12.” Sit back, relax, and let someone else drive as you and 11 friends embark on a private VIP bourbon excursion to Nobletons Distilling House in Franklin County! Your day includes private bus transportation with a dedicated driver, an insider tour of Nobletons' craft bourbon distillery, a guided spirits tasting, and a delicious paired tasting lunch. A perfect outing for milestone celebrations, corporate retreats, or an unforgettable day out with close friends!
Bidding on our Silent Auction items begins on Tuesday, September 29th, but you can register for the auction today and check out all of the items up for bid!
You’ll need to be present at our Happy Hour Buffet at Norwood Hills on Monday, October 12th to bid on this amazing experience.
