The second annual Werk-Brau Golf Classic to benefit Construction Angels raised over $100,000 to aid families of fallen construction workers in Ohio. Held on the Scarlet Course at the Ohio State University Golf Club, the sold-out field of 36 foursomes included contractors across the state—from small operations to nationally known companies like Kokosing, Miller Brothers, George J. Igel, and Shelly Company, as well as construction suppliers and those allied to the industry. In addition to the low score medalist honors, the day’s festivities included a “closest to the pin” contest, as well as a unique putting contest—using a compact excavator fitted with a Werk-Brau Tiltrotator and a one-of-a-kind Werk-Brau putter head attachment.
“The construction industry in Ohio showed up big time,” says Werk-Brau regional manager and golf outing chairman Neil Recker. “Thanks to the golfers, sponsors, customers, partners, and volunteers who made the day a resounding success. Many Ohio families of fallen construction workers will be helped because of your tireless efforts.”
Construction Angels is a non-profit organization that provides immediate financial support and grief counseling to the children and spouse when a construction worker suffers a fatality on the jobsite.
