On Tuesday, August 23, 2022, Wisconsin Dells Education Foundation hosted Golf for the Future at Trapper Turns Golf Club and Wild Rock Golf Club. Yesterday, more than $1.7 million was raised. The annual fundraiser has raised more than $6.2 million over the past 11 years to help fund endowed scholarships for local Wisconsin Dells High School students. These scholarships help provide area students an opportunity to attend accredited secondary education programs after graduation from high school.

The fundraiser began to raise the necessary funds to operate the Wisconsin Dells High School music department, but before long, the foundation raised enough money for the music program and then some, launching the Wisconsin Dells Education Foundation. Just over 52 percent of students in the Wisconsin Dells district qualify for free or reduced lunch, emphasizing the need for financial support.

"Last night's event was a rousing success," said Todd Nelson, owner and founder of Kalahari Resorts and Conventions and board member of Wisconsin Dells Education Foundation. "We were delighted with the turnout and the resulting financial support we are able to provide Wisconsin Dells High School students".

In addition to existing scholarships, there are eleven new ones being offered this year:

  • Dells Boat Tour Scholarship
  • The Dan & Jennifer Gavinski Scholarship
  • Anna & Jim Hutchison Scholarship
  • Al Pentell Memorial Scholarship
  • Louise M. Uselman Memorial Scholarship
  • The S & L Companies Agricultural Science Department Scholarship
  • WDHS Football Booster – Fred Kuhl Memorial Scholarship
  • Key Club Scholarship – Sponsored by The Del Bar
  • The Bob Gavinski Memorial Scholarship
  • The Original Wisconsin Ducks Scholarship
  • The Kwik Trip Scholarship
