JDRF Tee Up at Topgolf 2020 Recap

in ,

The 21st Annual JDRF Greater Missouri & Southern Illinois Chapter Tee Up event was a success raising more than $75,000 for type 1 diabetes (T1D) research! Nearly 200 golfers came out for the sold out event at Topgolf Chesterfield to enjoy an afternoon of competitive and free-play with Topgolf’s state-of-the-art golf games.

It was an inspiring day to see so many people come together in support all people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We are incredibly grateful to all the passionate fundraisers, donors and volunteers that worked so diligently to raise each dollar.

 

 

Congratulations to the first place winners on Team Burke, Mike Burke, Dave Cox, Bob Schroeder, Bob Graves and Shawn Wallington, and second place winners on Team Jackson, Brent Jackson, Todd Staley, Aaron Retherford, Michael Wagner and Patrick Bader! We would also like to congratulate the Closest to the Pin contest winner, Matt Jaudes, as well as our raffle and silent auction winners!

 

 

Special thanks to our Topgolf Chairs, Jim & Amy Terschluse! Jim & Amy have been committed to helping create a world without T1D since their son, Jack, was diagnosed at 11 years old. They fearlessly lead the charge on fundraising, recruitment and strategy. This year’s event was a success thanks to their passion and vision!

 

We are grateful for the support of the JDRF Tee Up Sponsors, Underwriters and Silent Auction Donors who gave generously to help to improve the lives of people living with T1D.
