Bringing together Continental team members, partners, friends, and family, the event focused on golfing, fundraising, and strengthening community bonds. Continental Cares, the heart of Continental’s charitable endeavors, has been making a significant impact since its inception in the spring of 2018. The committee's dedication and passion for identifying philanthropic organizations that align with Continental's core values have been a driving force behind the success of the annual golf outing and the entire charitable giving campaign. This year, the Continental Cares Charitable Golf Outing raised $80,000, a testament to the unwavering commitment of all participants to make a positive impact. These funds will be channeled directly into Continental's contributions to its charitable partners - Ronald McDonald House, Revitalize Milwaukee, Stars and Stripes Honor Flight, and K9s for Warriors. Each of these organizations plays a crucial role in creating a better future, and the support garnered from the golf outing will undoubtedly amplify their efforts.

This choice was driven by the village's outstanding community qualities, position for growth, rich amenities, and robust neighborhood fabric. Additionally, the positive experience we had previously established as a corporate citizen in the village, with our successful Springs at Oswego community completed three years ago, further reinforced our commitment to this partnership."
