HCC STL Foundation, the charitable arm of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan St. Louis, will host its 8th Annual Golf Classic on Thursday, September 11. All proceeds will go towards funding education and training programs and scholarships for Hispanics in the local area.
The event will include a golf tournament, lunch, dinner, raffles and silent auction. The golf tournament will be held at Norman K. Probstein Golf Course in Forest Park. Sponsorship opportunities are available from $125 to $3,000.
“The HCC STL Foundation is committed to improving the St. Louis region,” said Karlos Ramirez, executive director of the Hispanic Chamber. “Every year, the Golf Classic is the main event that raises funds for our foundation. This event is a great opportunity for the public to show their support for the Hispanic community.”
The title sponsor of this year’s classic is Anheuser-Busch, Inc. Margarita Flores, vice president of Community Affairs at Anheuser-Busch, said, “We have been strong supporters of the foundation, as well as the Hispanic Chamber, for over 10 years now, and we believe in their mission of promoting education and leadership programs for the community.”
The foundation’s three primary areas of focus are advancing opportunities to promote education, training and to provide scholarships. One of the foundation’s biggest programs is the Latino Leadership Institute, or LLI. Funds raised at the Golf Classic will provide scholarships for LLI participants.
The LLI, sponsored by Centene Corporation, consists of nine training sessions conducted once a month, each focused on a particular skill set for the developing leader. It trains young Hispanic professionals on for-profit and non-profit management skills and network development within the St. Louis business community.
In addition to their leadership training, participants are encouraged to give back to the St. Louis region through community involvement.
