Heartland golf charity set for July 26
KENOSHA, WI — On July 26, the Heartland Children’s Foundation will be sponsoring the Heartland Produce 2016 Charitable Golf Outing at the ThunderHawk Golf Club in Beach Park, IL.

William (Bill) Dietz Jr., president of Heartland Produce Co., based here, said the non-profit Heartland Children’s Foundation was launched three years ago. The four beneficiaries from last year’s event were CASA Lake County, Women & Children’s Horizons, The Shalom Center and Oasis for Orphans.
This spring Bill Dietz will be traveling to Jordan on a UNICEF field visit. He is a board member of the Midwest Region, U.S. Fund for UNICEF. His board took on a three-year project to raise $3 million for the Eliminate Project, a partnership between UNICEF and Kiwanis International to eliminate maternal neonatal tetanus from the 23 countries where it is still present. Dietz said the vaccine for the disease costs $1.80. The challenge is to get the vaccine to those who need it.
