Menomonee Falls, WI – Ninety-three golfers teed-up to fight cancer at the second annual Jerry Maahs Memorial Golf Outing benefiting the American Cancer Society.
The benefit, held at Scenic View Country Club in Slinger, Wis., raised more than $5,000. Alto-Shaam, in turn, matched the funds raised at the outing for a total of more than $11,000 for the American Cancer Society.
In addition to the golfers, 24 hole sponsors, including local businesses, corporate vendors, and foodservice publications, helped raise money to fight cancer.
“The outpouring of support from everyone has been astounding,” said Steve Maahs, president and COO of Alto-Shaam, and Jerry Maahs’s son. “I know Jerry would be happy to see all this participation in his honor.”
Jerry Maahs founded Alto-Shaam in 1956. His invention of the Cook & Hold oven revolutionized the commercial foodservice industry.

Jerry passed away on April 18, 2006 after a courageous battle with cancer.
