The 2025 event raises over $332,000 to support the mission of care, advocacy, research, and education.
OCONOMOWOC, Wis. — June 16, 2025 — ORBIS® Corporation, a global leader in reusable packaging solutions, hosted its fifth annual ORBIS Good Days for Kids golf outing that raised over $332,000 for Children’s Wisconsin, the region’s only independent health care system dedicated solely to the health and well-being of children. The event, which combines the joy of golf with the spirit of giving back, was held at the Grand Geneva golf course in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. Since its inception, this event has raised a staggering $1.46 million dollars.
“Kids are the best cause we can think of, and Children’s Wisconsin has been at the forefront of providing care for every aspect of a child’s health, including their physical, social, and mental well-being,” said Norm Kukuk, president of ORBIS Corporation.
“At ORBIS, we are immensely proud to continue supporting the communities in which we work,” he continued. “The impact Children’s Wisconsin has on children’s health both at home and at school is profound, and we are grateful to be part of their journey. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our dedicated suppliers for joining forces with us to raise these crucial funds that cumulatively have resulted in $1.46 million in donations. I appreciate the work everyone did to make it an outstanding day for us!”
The partnership between ORBIS and Children’s Wisconsin started out benefiting pediatric critical care for kids experiencing a life-threatening injury or illness. Funds raised during the Good Days for Kids golf outing go to work immediately, fueling the most pressing needs of the Children’s Wisconsin mission of care, advocacy, research, and education.
“Because of ORBIS, more kids cared for by Children’s Wisconsin can have good — and even great — days,” said Meg Brzyski Nelson, President of the Children’s Wisconsin Foundation. “We are deeply grateful for their partnership, as well as the sustained generosity of all those who have participated in this event for the past five years. Thanks for helping fuel our work to build futures that are brighter than ever for kids and families.”
