For over two decades, friends, local leaders, and supporters have gathered for the Dan McLaughlin Charity Golf Tournament & Auction—a day defined by great golf, great company, and deep community impact.

Now in its 24th year, there are two fantastic ways to get involved and support extraordinary students across St. Louis County:

Tee Off for Impact: Join Us at Norwood Hills on October 12th

There’s still time to claim your foursome's spot at Norwood Hills Country Club. Beyond a fantastic round on a championship course, golfers will enjoy on-course games including straightest drive, longest drive, closest to the pin, hole-in-one, and a putting contest. It will be a perfect mix of friendly competition and meaningful giving on October 12, 2026.

Celebrate Off the Course at Happy Hour. No golf clubs required!

Join us after the tournament for our Happy Hour and Auction. It’s an evening to relax, catch up with friends, and bid on incredible packages. When you raise your paddle, you're doing more than winning an item—you're opening doors and making a difference for students with disabilities.

Where Your Dollars Go

Every dollar raised powers the Special Education Foundation's core mission—to assist students with disabilities in St. Louis County in achieving success in ways not supported by tax dollars.

Adaptive & Assistive Equipment: Helps students with disabilities access learning, communication, mobility, and everyday activities more independently and successfully.
Classroom Innovation Grants: Funding for creative, student-centered projects, materials, and experiences that enhance learning and meet the unique needs of students with disabilities.
Kid-to-Camp: Provides financial assistance to help students with disabilities attend camp during academic breaks— creating opportunities for recreation, friendship, and meaningful social experiences.
