CH2M HILL Charity Golf Tournament

CH2M HILL is a global engineering company, with an office of about 15 staff in West Des Moines. CH2M HILL is committed to partnering with the community and charitable outreach. They began a formal Community Partners program in 2005. At that time, they were looking for a charity to become involved with. One of the staff in the office, Jon Rees, had a personal connection with Children’s Cancer Connection through the Cornish family, and chose them as the charity to support. 

For the past seven years, the Des Moines office of CH2M HILL has supported Children’s Cancer Connection during the holidays through the adopt-a-family program.  In 2009 CH2M HILL hosted the First Annual CH2M HILL Charity Golf Tournament to Benefit Children’s Cancer Connection.   

The Fourth Annual Tournament is just around the corner on Thursday, May 10th. The tournament will be held again at the picturesque Harvester Golf Club in Rhodes, Iowa, just north of Des Moines. The tournament is a 12:30 shotgun start, followed by a post-golf reception, dinner, raffle and speaker. Registration for the tournament is $125 and includes 18 holes of golf, cart, sleeve of Titleist ProV1 balls, goody bags, snack and drink tickets, a chance to win a hole-in-one year-lease on a luxury vehicle, pin prizes, and trophy and awards.

"Each year we have had a wonderful family speak to our golfers on how they have been helped by Children’s Cancer Connection and their cancer journey. Each story has been touching and inspiring," said tournament chair Shani Wahl. "Through the three years we have held the tournament, we have raised over $20,000 for Children’s Cancer Connection, and hope to reach a tournament goal of $9,000 this year. Each year we hope to grow the tournament, and our following of players and sponsors."
