Manufacturer Raises Record Total at Memorial Golf Event

Alto-Shaam raised a record total at its latest memorial golf event held in support of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and in memory of its founder, Jerry Maahs, who passed away from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2006.

The event, held at Ironwood golf course in Sussex, Wis., welcomed 208 golfers and raised $150,000, the highest total at an Alto-Shaam memorial golf event. In a 16-year partnership with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Alto-Shaam has raised more than $1 million.

Donations from Alto-Shaam partners, sponsors and employees totaled $75,000, with Alto-Shaam matching dollar-for-dollar to reach the collective donation. The proceeds will be directed toward the established Jerry Maahs Memorial Fund, the Dare to Dream project which looks to transform treatment and care for children with blood cancer, and college scholarships for childhood cancer survivors.
