We are back.

It’s official. The 2021 EVS Golf Outing will take place with a shotgun start at 1 pm on Friday September 10, 2021 at the Grand Geneva Resort and Spa in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Still the same great golf outing, with a few changes detailed in this invite.

WHY/WHAT: Each year we get together to celebrate the life of our great friend Eric Streich who passed away 15 years ago. Eric enjoyed spending time with family and friends 😎, healthy competition 🏌️‍♂️and socializing with a few drinks 🍻. So we use a semi-competitive golf outing to as a very convenient excuse to see old friends and make new friends, while honoring Eric’s values. 100% of the profit from this event is contributed to the Eric Victor Streich Memorial Fund, a scholarship fund established through the University of Wisconsin Foundation. Multiple scholarships are awarded each year to first-semester seniors 👩‍🎓 in the Industrial Engineering program at UW-Madison from Eric’s Fund.

WHO: The outing generally consists of 50% of people that knew Eric and 50% of people that are friends, family and co-workers of those that knew Eric. We actively encourage new joiners to the event because we believe it reflects Eric’s warm nature and social approach to life. Whenever we went somewhere with Eric, he always seemed to be the first person in our group that would form new relationships with other people, paving the way for all of us to make new friends. We therefore hope this outing continues to be a place where people can make new and potential lifelong friends, as that would be the best way to honor Eric’s legacy (besides donating loot 💰 to the scholarship fund, of course).

NOT A GOLFER??

Other Fun Activities Nearby. Golf isn’t for everyone, and we chose a different location this year in part to create other fun activities for spouses and/or families. While your significant other may be golfing, we expect that many of the non-golfers might (1) make use of the Spa at the Resort 👙🛀 , (2) find their way into Downtown Lake Geneva for shopping and walking around 🎁, and/or (3) take their kids to the Timber Ridge Waterpark 🏄‍♀️which is located just down the street from the Grand Geneva Resort. Side note: we are worried that the Timber Ridge Waterpark may detract from our golf numbers (looking at you Joe Grady).

Raffle. We could also use your help with the RAFFLE 🎭🎪🤿. Each year, the post-golf raffle helps ensure we maximize the funds donated to the EVS Scholarship Fund. Betty’s quilts are hot items, and we have had several other businesses and individuals contribute prizes (gift certificates, Packers tickets, golf bags, rounds of golf, UW signed footballs/basketballs, etc). If you have an item to donate to the raffle, please contact Contact event using the form below.. And thank you in advance!

You can reserve and pay for a hole sponsorship using the ticket purchase link below, and then email the text or image you would like on your sign to Contact event using the form below..

We hope to see a bunch of the old faces, along with new friends!
