The 29th Annual Wyman Golf Tournament

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Wyman will host the 29th Annual Wyman Golf Tournament on Monday August 17, 2009 at Whitmoor Country Club in St. Charles, Missouri.

Become a sponsor, today!*

SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR 2009 EVENT SPONSORS:
Kirberg Company
Dave & Cherly Morley
South Side Lions
American Family Insurance, Bill Voss Agency, Inc.

Last year’s golf tournament raised $240,000 for St. Louis teens! Just imagine how successful Wyman’s 29th Annual Tournament will be with your help! You can transform the lives of St. Louis teens, with a sponsorship in our upcoming tournament! Here’s just a few of the successes that last year’s tournament enabled St. Louis teens to accomplish:

  • 100% of Wyman teens graduated on time and moved to break the cycle of poverty as they successfully transition to a college or career pathway.
  • The start of the Five Star After-School Program expanded the reach of the Wyman Teen Outreach Program to an additional 500 students in St. Louis City.
  • Wyman teens in the Five Star After-School Program achieved outstanding results after only 61 days of programming! Sixty-eight percent of failing students increased by one or more letter grade.

We hope you will support the golf tournament by becoming a sponsor and/or putting together a foursome and joining us for a full day of golf, food and fun. Festivities include lunch, an 18-hole, 4-person scramble (shotgun start at noon) followed by cocktails, dinner and a silent and oral auction. All the proceeds from Wyman’s golf tournament go towards the crucial work Wyman does on behalf of St. Louis teens.

Think you know Andrew? The thing about Andrew is, he’s not just into wrestling, baseball, sketching, Victorian literature, pottery and computers – he’s into diversity. Being around all the different races, religions and cultures is what Andrew liked best about his experience in the Wyman Teen Outreach and Teen Leadership Programs. He also likes the fact that it prepared him to go to DePaul University next fall to major in Information Technology.
