At the La Crosse Country Club in Onalaska, Wis., 132 guests participated in the scramble-format Multistack 65 Roses Golf Classic. The golfers enjoyed an early afternoon round of golf followed by a wonderful lunch with great cocktails and both a silent and live auction. Fantastic prizes included digital cameras, a rare wine collection, golf tour tickets and state of the art tools. By the end of the day, the event pulled in more than $48,000.
The Wisconsin Chapter – Madison Branch would like to thank its sponsors: title sponsor Multistack, Fastenal, WXOW, and La Crosse Radio Group. The Multistack 65 Roses Golf Classic could not have happened without event chair and Multistack CEO, Mark Platt, and the event planning committee: Howard Kelly, Kelly McHenry, Steve Michaels, Dallas Platt and Shay Rihn.
