The 2nd Annual Joan Hanson Foundation Golf Classic will be held on July 20.
In 2012, Joan Hanson (McFarlane) lost a courageous battle with cancer at just 50 years old. Joan provided inspiration as a wife and mother of two daughters, in addition to commiting endless support and compassion to the many children she encountered every day. Over the course of her teaching career Joan taught at Cherokee Middle School, Thoreau Elementary, Chavez Elementary and Huegel Elementary schools. She taught children lessons that go far beyond the classroom and was awarded the Crystal Apple Award by Channel 15 as an outstanding educator in May 2012.
Established in 2014, the Joan Hanson Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization offering youth sport assistance in Madison, Wisconsin and surrounding areas. We are committed to enhancing the character and health of economically disadvantaged children through the positive experience of sports.
