Each year, the MDA Golf Challenge raises money to assist families in the Elkhart Lake area who are dealing with the challenges associated with muscular dystrophy.

We are always willing to lend a hand for such a worthy cause."

The Fueling Good Road Trip Ambassadors, Adam and Diego, highlighted all the good the participants, sponsors and volunteers continue to do for the Greater Sheboygan County area.
"We love when our Marketers form a strong relationship with their community," said Alan Flagg, general manager light oils marketing for CITGO.
