What an incredible way to celebrate 20 years of the Silver Lining Classic!

Together, West Bend associates, independent agency partners, business partners, sponsors, and community supporters raised more than $600,000 during this year’s golf outing, dinner, and auction. The funds raised will benefit the MACC Fund, Make-A-Wish Wisconsin, and March of Dimes, supporting children and families when they need it most.

"This event has always been about people,” said Kelly Tighe, senior vice president and chief marketing and sales officer. “When our agency partners, business partners, associates and friends come together, amazing things happen. Every dollar raised represents hope for a child, support for a family, and a community that cares enough to make a difference. That’s what makes this event so special year after year.”
