Brookfield, Wis. – Golfers are invited to tee off for a bright local educational future at the first-ever Elmbrook Open Golf Outing, May 16 at Ironwood Golf Course.

The inaugural event benefits the Elmbrook Education Foundation, which funds scholarships and innovative educational programs in Elmbrook School District. Shotgun start is at 10 a.m. at Ironwood Golf Course, W270-N6166 Moraine Drive, Sussex.

“Everyone in the Elmbrook Education Foundation is tremendously excited about our inaugural golf outing, which should be the first of many,” Ruedt said. “We hope that Elmbrook alumni living in the area will join us, both for a great day of golf and the chance to reconnect with former classmates.”

After all, to use one of the Elmbrook Education Foundation’s core beliefs, learning and improving skills are lifelong experiences!”
