EASTER SEALS MIDWEST ANNOUNCES NEW CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT
New Tourney Reflects Statewide Focus on Services for Developmentally Disabled
Osage Beach, Missouri, July 6, 2017
St. Louis-based Easterseals Midwest announced today a new golf tournament fundraising event has been scheduled for Labor Day weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks. The tourney is the first annual Alan Frederick Schien Memorial Golf Tournament, named in honor of ESMW board member Kent Schien’s son, Alan, who passed away on November 1st, 2016 after living a fulfilling and productive life with Muscular Dystrophy. The tournament will be held on Sunday, September 3, at Osage National Golf Club at the Lake of the Ozarks with a 1:00 shotgun start. Check-in and lunch will begin at 11:00, and a BBQ dinner will be provided after golf, along with a silent and live auction. The tourney format will be a 4-person scramble, and prizes will be awarded to the winners during the auction. All proceeds will go to Easterseals Midwest, a nonprofit organization that is committed to helping individuals with developmental disabilities---including autism---learn, live, work and participate in communities throughout Missouri.
“We are proud to partner with Kent and the Schien family to honor Alan, and grateful that the proceeds from this event will go to our mission of helping individuals with developmental disabilities and their families, said Wendy Sullivan, CEO of Easterseals Midwest. “Alan was a special person, and while all of us at Easterseals Midwest miss him, we are so thrilled that he will be fondly remembered at this event annually. Holding this tournament in central Missouri at a wonderful location like Osage National also reflects our statewide service reach. Fred Schien, was a prominent Lake of the Ozarks real estate executive until his death in 2013. Fred’s family continues to call the Lake of the Ozarks home. “Placing Alan’s memorial fundraising event at the Lake of the Ozarks was a natural fit for us, said Kent Schien. “We have many friends there and look forward to seeing them at the tournament. And as an Easterseals Midwest board member and parent of one they helped throughout his life, it is only fitting that they benefit from the proceeds.”
