SOCIAL / LOCAL COMMUNITIES Whirlpool Corporation Community Charity Golf Event The 2021 Whirlpool Corporation Community Charity Golf Event (WCCGE) was once again cancelled due to concerns around COVID-19. Despite the event not being held for the second year in a row, our participants still showed their support, and Whirlpool Corporation was able to issue checks to local organizations to help with their missions in the community. In past years, the annual event has been hosted on six golf courses, raising funds for local charities with a focus on youth education. The WCCGE began as a way to help our headquarters’ local Boys & Girls Club with some of their costs and increase their programming. It then expanded to raising money to build the Boys & Girls Clubs Teen and Youth Centers in Benton Harbor, with additional support for the Benton Harbor First Tee program, local school foundations and other youth education-related activities such as FIRST Robotics and Junior Achievement. Since its inception in 2004 by Whirlpool Corporation’s former Chairman and CEO Jeff Fettig, the event has raised over $26 million. $250,000 Lakeshore Excellence Foundation $250,000 Benton Harbor Public Schools Foundation $250,000 St. Joseph Public Schools Foundation PUBLIC SCHOOLS $100,000 FIRST Robotics Area Teams $200,000 Benton Harbor First Tee $1.2 M Benton Harbor Boys & Girls Clubs Since its inception in 2004 by Whirlpool Corporation’s former Chairman and CEO Jeff Fettig, the event has raised over $26 million . 2021 Contributions Made From Participant Generosity Whirlpool Corporation / 2021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 68
