MONROE — An estimated total from the Toby Golembiewski Flag Football Fundraiser on Saturday, June 21 at Monroe High School generated just over $7,000 according to Board of Directors member Austin Fuchs. That total includes money raised from the tournament and sponsorships. 

“We’re very thankful for the turnout we had and for all the community involvement. I’m beyond grateful to everyone who came out for this great event,” said Fuchs. 

Fuchs is a 2023 Monroe High School graduate and member of Coach Golembiewski’s teams. Golembiewski coached for eight years at Monroe, winning a state championship in 2022. He compiled a record of 63-24. Golembiewski died of colon cancer in 2023. He was 56 year old. 

Along with the flag football tournament, a silent auction was held where those in attendance could bid on Milwaukee Brewers tickets, Green Bay Packers tickets, a Wisconsin Badgers helmet signed by TJ Watt, a gift card and speaker donated by the Swiss Colony, and two handcrafted lawn chairs with leg rests with “Win the Day” inscribed on them, donated by the Monroe High school wood shop. 

The money raised support Monroe High School scholarships in Golembiewski’s name.
