FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ST. LOUIS, MO — Slyman Bros Appliances celebrated a successful debut of its Annual Charity Golf Open, raising $38,000 for the Dream Factory of St. Louis. Held September 1, 2026, at Tapawingo National Golf Club, the sold-out tournament brought together golfers, sponsors and supporters to help make dreams come true for local children facing critical and chronic illnesses.
Sunshine, friendly competition and community spirit defined the day. Even as temperatures reached 100 degrees, participants kept the energy high, enjoying a beautiful day on the course filled with laughter, surprises and a shared commitment to a meaningful cause.
“You guys put on a hell of a tournament! Thanks for inviting me! Had an absolute blast! Honest to God, probably one of the best charity tournaments I have been too!” - PB
More than $30,000 in prizes and raffle items were won throughout the event. Among the standout prizes was a KitchenAid stand mixer awarded to the golfer closest to the pin in every foursome—giving each group an extra reason to bring its best game.
The funds raised will support the Dream Factory of St. Louis, a volunteer-run organization that grants dreams to critically and chronically ill children ages 3–18. These experiences bring children and their families joy, hope and cherished memories during challenging times.
Slyman Bros Appliances extends special thanks to Whirlpool and KitchenAid, the event’s top sponsors, for their generous support, and to every sponsor, golfer, volunteer and participant who helped make the inaugural tournament such a success. Their generosity and enthusiasm turned a fun day of golf into a lasting difference for local families.
Continuing the Slyman family’s tradition of service, the tournament represents another way the family-owned company gives back to the community that has supported it for more than 60 years.
Save the Date: The 2nd Annual Slyman Bros Appliances Charity Golf Open will take place September 30, 2027. Golfers and sponsors are invited to mark their calendars for another memorable day of friendly competition, exciting prizes and giving back to grant even more dreams!
