H&S Companies started out in Fremont, Michigan in 1983. This year they celebrate 35 years in business, with 10 locations, and over 80 team members. Co-Founder, Dan Slate, never has a shortage of ideas when it comes to celebrating milestones, and he decided the firm should do so by raising money for a worthy cause. “We chose to hold a golf outing for clients and employees where all the proceeds will be donated to the Grand Rapids Whitewater Organization, said Co-Founder Jack Hendon. It’s an organization with a plan that will have a tremendous economic, social, and environmental impact on the greater Grand Rapids Community.”
H&S Shareholders invited clients and employees across all offices to play in the golf outing. The 124-person outing was held at Scott Lake Golf & Practice Center in Belmont, Michigan and brought in over $15,000 with sponsorships, silent auction, 50/50 raffle, and course games.
“We could not have done this without the support of many of our clients and business partners, who generously sponsored the outing. Special thanks to Founders Brewing Company and ChoiceOne Bank for being our Class IV Rapids level sponsors, as well as VizCom Media, Bill & Paul’s Sporthaus, and our friends at HS&C Wealth Management for their Class III Rapids level sponsorships,” said Jack. A full list of sponsors can be found below.
H&S Companies would also like to thank their clients, employees, and friends who came to the outing to show their support, either by volunteering, playing, or bidding in the silent auction. “Many folks we have known and worked with for 35 years, said Dan.”
