KALKREUTH CHARITY GOLF EVENTS SCHEDULED FOR JULY 25-28

MAY 2019 – The Annual Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) Charity Golf Events benefitting Easter Seals are right around the corner! KRSM’s official public charity organization, Kalkreuth Roofing Charities, was officially formed last year as a way to streamline the company’s philanthropic efforts. We are proud to make this an official Kalkreuth Roofing Charities Golf Event!

This year, the Kalkreuth Vendor Invitational (KVI) will kick off with an exclusive vendor dinner and Easter Seals check presentation on Thursday, July 25, with the KVI golf scramble to follow on Friday, July 26.

The Kalkreuth Amateur Golf Championship (KAGC) tournament will follow on July 27 and 28 on the Robert Trent Jones and Arnold Palmer golf courses at Oglebay Resort’s Speidel Golf Club in Wheeling, West Virginia. The KAGC is open to the public, and you can register at www.OglebayGolf.co/KAGC and pay online.

The KAGC serves as a long-standing tradition in the Ohio Valley and is the premier amateur golf tournament in the tri-state area hosting nearly 300 golfers each year. This tournament generates the support of many of KRSM’s valued vendor partners from across the country.

A portion of the proceeds from these events contributes to an annual donation to the local chapter of Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center in Wheeling, West Virginia. Their work is to create solutions that change the lives of children and adults with disabilities and their families. Over the last seven years, KRSM has been able to donate over $90,000 to Easter Seals, and we look forward to watching that number continue to grow in the years to come.
