Henkel Fore A Cause Event Raises over $40,000 to Benefit Detroit’s Cornerstone Schools

Henkel recently hosted its fifth annual Henkel Fore A Cause customer appreciation golf outing and charity event. This annual outing is a customer event with a mission to raise money to help support Cornerstone Schools, a Detroit charter school dedicated to the excellence of its students. Through registration fees, partner sponsorships and raffle tickets, the event raised $40,000 for Cornerstone Schools.

During the outing, golfers also had an opportunity to meet some of the Cornerstone students, as well as enjoy a performance from the Cornerstone choir.

“Henkel recognizes the importance of helping to educate the youth in our community," said Chuck Evans, executive vice president, automotive North America, Henkel. “We are honored to partner with our customers and suppliers to support Cornerstone Schools in their educational commitment to the
children of Detroit, which is needed now more than ever.”

In the five years that the event has been running, Henkel Fore A Cause has raised approximately $200,000 dollars for Cornerstone Schools.
