Steve Stricker, Official VSA Wisconsin Spokesperson and Generous Friend

PGA Tour pro golfer and Madison resident Steve Stricker contributes his time to VSA Wisconsin each year to help raise funds and awareness for the VSA Art Center. Since 1997, the annual VSA Golf Exhibition with Steve Stricker has raised more than $500,000 for the VSA Art Center.

In April 2012, Steve designated an extremely generous gift of $15,000 to VSA Wisconsin through his participation in the 2011 Presidents Cup. This is in addition to his charitable designations through the 2009 and 2007 Presidents Cup, the 2010 and 2008 Ryder Cup, and previous US Bank Open Celebrity Shootouts. Learn more about this gift and his impressive philanthropy through a video clip from the CBS Sports special "Playing with a Purpose."

In 2007 the national office of VSA Wisconsin presented Steve with an Excellence in Leadership Award for his exemplary service and commitment to VSA Wisconsin. "Steve's generosity and his passion for our mission is overwhelming," says President Kathie Wagner. "He is a true champion for VSA Wisconsin!"
