Kunes Sponsors Salvation Army's Swing Fore the Kettle

Kunes Auto Group Is Proud to Sponsor Lunch at the Salvation Army's Swing Fore the Kettle Golf Invitational

Kunes Auto Group is honored to announce our commitment as the official lunch sponsor of the Salvation Army of Milwaukee County's annual Swing Fore the Kettle Golf Invitational. On Monday, August 31, golfers, businesses, and community partners will gather at Oakwood Park Golf Course in Franklin for a day on the greens that gives back to the neighbors who need it most.

 

For us, this partnership is about more than a round of golf. It is about showing up for the community that has supported our family of dealerships for years, and standing alongside an organization that has been meeting real human needs across Milwaukee County for generations.

About Swing Fore the Kettle

The Swing Fore the Kettle Golf Invitational brings the Milwaukee business community together for a full day of golf, camaraderie, and giving. This year's event tees off at 11:00 AM on August 31 at Oakwood Park Golf Course, located at 3600 W Oakwood Rd in Franklin. Foursomes, individual golfers, and sponsors are all welcome to take part.

 

Every registration and sponsorship helps fund the programs the Salvation Army provides across Milwaukee County, including food assistance, shelter, youth services, and emergency support for families facing difficult times.

 

The event's name is a nod to one of the most recognizable symbols of giving in America: the Salvation Army's iconic red kettle. For well over a century, those familiar kettles and ringing bells have turned everyday generosity into meals, warmth, and hope for people who need a hand. Swing Fore the Kettle carries that same spirit onto the golf course.

Why Kunes Is Serving Lunch

As the lunch sponsor, Kunes Auto Group is proud to provide the midday meal for the golfers and volunteers who spend their day supporting this cause. There is something fitting about the role: the Salvation Army works tirelessly to make sure no one in our community goes hungry, and we are glad to help feed the people who are out there helping make that mission possible.

 

Giving back is part of who we are. Across Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota, the Kunes family believes a dealership should be a good neighbor first. Sponsoring lunch at Swing Fore the Kettle is one more way we can invest in the communities where our teams and our customers live, work, and raise their families.
