John Deere Classic staff spent the morning at the National Philanthropy Day Awards hosted by Association of Fundraising Professionals - Quad Cities Chapter & Quad Cities Community Foundation. We had the privilege of celebrating two remarkable award winners who hold great significance for us and have profoundly impacted the mission of the John Deere Classic and its Birdies for Charity program. Our very own Anika Martin received the title of Outstanding Fundraising Professional. Although Anika has been with us for less than a year, her dedication to our organization spans nearly three decades, beginning as a volunteer when she was just a young girl. Her ongoing support and recent contributions as part of our team are truly inspiring! Decker Ploehn, the 2008 Tournament Chair (ALL GREAT IN '08), was honored as the Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser. Decker's unwavering commitment extends not only to the JDC but to numerous other organizations in our community, making his efforts truly unparalleled. From chairing boards to emceeing events and hosting auctions, he has done it all for charitable causes! Congratulations to both of them! 👏
