ORBIS® Corporation, a global leader in reusable packaging solutions, hosted its fourth annual ORBIS Good Days for Kids golf tournament, which raised more than $370,000 for the Children’s Wisconsin Pediatric Simulation and Resuscitation Program, the region’s only independent health system dedicated to the health and well-being of children.
The event was held at Grand Geneva Golf Course in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, and the total raised helped Children’s Wisconsin reach $1 million in donations from its Good Days for Kids golf tournament.
“Children’s Wisconsin has been at the forefront of providing care that gives every child the best chance at a happy, healthy and productive life for more than a century,”
said Norm Kukuk, president of ORBIS Corporation.
“At ORBIS, we are immensely proud to support this vital mission. The impact Children’s Wisconsin has on families is profound, and we are grateful to be a part of their journey. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated vendors for joining us in raising these crucial funds that together have resulted in $1 million in donations. I appreciate everyone’s work to make this day a record for us!”

The partnership between ORBIS and Children’s Wisconsin began by benefiting pediatric critical care for children experiencing a life-threatening illness. Funds raised during the Good Days for Kids golf tournament are put to immediate use, fueling the most urgent needs of Children’s Wisconsin’s mission of care, advocacy, research and education.
Since its inception, this event has raised an impressive $1 million for the Pediatric Simulation and Resuscitation Program, which provides highly realistic simulation-based education to support the training of medical professionals across the country. Since 1985, this program has helped train more than 100 pediatric intensivists who are now serving in hospitals in 25 states.
“We are immensely grateful to ORBIS for their continued support of Children’s Wisconsin.”
said David Margolis, chief of Pediatrics at Children’s Wisconsin.
“Their generosity allows us to provide cutting-edge training and technology to our dedicated physicians, nurses and healthcare professionals. The support of ORBIS and everyone who participates in the Good Days for Kids golf tournament provides life-saving care and fuels our work to build a brighter future for children and families.”
