⛳️🏌️‍♀️ A GREAT day on the course!

The Waukee Area Chamber of Commerce was proud to sponsor a hole and field a Board of Directors foursome at the Waukee Community Schools Foundation Golf Tournament this week at A.H. Blank Golf Course.

Beyond the golf, it was incredible to see so many Chamber members, community partners, business leaders, educators, and supporters gathered together investing in opportunities that directly impact students across the Waukee Community School District.

These events are a powerful reminder that when business and community come together, great things happen!

Thank you to the Waukee Community Schools Foundation for your commitment to enhancing educational experiences for our students and for hosting another outstanding event. We loved seeing so many familiar Chamber faces on the course and are grateful to be part of a community that continues to show up, give back, and support one another!
