Golfers participated in the 27th Annual Palmer Memorial Golf Tournament at Hermann Park Golf Course benefiting Archway Academy. Baseball Hall of Famer Jeff Bagwell and his wife Rachel (pictured) served as this year's tournament chairs. The academy provides a compassionate and sober learning environment for adolescents in recovery. Bagwell also served as the guest speaker at the organization's virtual fall luncheon later that month. His connection to Archway Academy stems from his personal journey with addiction and recovery, which he spoke about at the luncheon. See the video, including Bagwell's touching presentation, here. This year's golf tournament raised over $45,000, with all proceeds going toward the student scholarship fund. The luncheon raised more than $240,000.
